So many times we pray and ask God for help and we seem to forget who is fighting for us. If you read about the journey of the nation Israel you see God leading and protecting them with fire and a cloud and using water. We can’t always see how he’s working these days but sometimes we need a reminder that He still is. Exodus 14 is an amazing chapter about God delivering Israel from Egypt but two verses were awesome to me. It the previous part of the chapter God had already warned Moses that they were going to be followed by the Egyptian armies. That’s the crazy thing too because during all ten plagues God warned Moses every time that Pharaoh was going to harden his heart. So after ten plagues and fair warning the people of Israel are still whining and not trusting God and often we do the same and we need to be reminded who is fighting for us.
Exodus 14:13-14 is what we need to remember when we pray. Because God’s not finished with us.
“But Moses said to the people, ‘Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord’s salvation He will provide for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you must be quiet.’”
When you pray and turn things over to God and trust him, the fight is out of your hands and sometimes you have to be quiet and trust Him. The Egyptian army you face now you may never see again. The same God who defeated the Egyptian armies would also later do this.
“The tomb where soldiers watched in vain
Was borrowed for three days
His Body there would not remain
Our God has robbed the grave
Our God has robbed the grave
Your name
Your name
Is victory
All praise will rise
To Christ our King”
“I try so hard to find the words to say
To let you know how great is this God to whom I pray
Nothing can nor ever will compare
To the peace that flows in your soul when He is living there
Oh I know you’ve been through so much
It’s hard to contemplate reaching out in trust
But I know the simple truth
That love is here for you
So take him at his Word and see what He can do.”
