Exodus 14:14 “The LORD will fight for you; you must be quiet.”
Few of us have experienced being chased by an army of warriors like the Israelites have. When they were faced with what seemed like an insurmountable barrier to safety, the Red Sea, Moses told them, “The LORD will fight for you; you must be quiet.” What battles are you fighting that you should give to the Lord? Troubles in your marriage, sickness, financial problems, whatever it is, submit to Him and let the LORD fight for you.
Calling on the Lord to fight your battles means you do not have to be distressed, discouraged, or distraught when unforeseen battles occur in your life. You may have recently fought a battle, are fighting one now, or one is headed your way. When the situation seems hopeless or overwhelming you may be tempted to doubt God, His promises, or His ability. Like the Israelites, all Christians are to believe God’s Word, have confidence in His faithfulness, and quietly trust in Him. He has promised to take care of you (Philippians 4:19), He has good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and He loves you beyond anything you can imagine (Romans 8:37-39).
Father, thank You for giving us one more day. Thank You for your precious and faithful promises. Forgive us when we take our eyes off of You and begin to doubt Your mighty power and unconditional love. Help us keep our eyes on Jesus and the truth in Your Word. May we find rest in You when the enemy attacks and trust You in all areas of our life. In Jesus’ precious and holy name we pray. Amen.
