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!
