Meditate On
And Moses said to the people, “Do not be
afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord...The Lord will fight
for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
Exodus 14:13–14
Stand
Still And See Yeshua Your Salvation
Not long after Moses brought the Israelites
out of slavery in Egypt, they found themselves caught between a rock and a hard
place. In front of them was the treacherous Red Sea, and behind them was the
army of Pharaoh, armed to the teeth and charging toward them to slaughter them!
Naturally, the Israelites were terrified.
But Moses said to them, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation
of the Lord...” (Exodus 14:13). I can just imagine what some of the Israelites
must have thought: “Stand still? Is he out of his mind? We better do something
quick!”
My friend, in the midst of a crisis, the
last thing that we would want to do is “stand still.” Yet, that is what God
wants us to do—“Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” The word
“salvation” here is the Hebrew word, Yeshua, the name of Jesus. In other words,
God wants us to “stand still,” and see or keep our eyes on Jesus. When we stop
trying to solve the crisis using our own smarts and strength, and turn to the
Lord, He will “part the Red Sea” or make a way where there is none. He will
fight our battles for us!
So the next time the devil tells you, “What
are you going to do about it?” don’t fall for his old trick and move out of
your position of rest by getting into fear and anxiety. See Yeshua and keep
your eyes on Him. He is your salvation—your healing, your wisdom and your
provision. Let Him deal with your enemies. He will bring you safely to the
other side. What He did for the Israelites, He will do for you today!
