The unthinkable!

Moses responds with FAITH; confidence and assurance that God says who he is. 

He instructs the people running for their lives to not be afraid, stand firm, and be still. 

What a strategy! To stand still, when the Egyptian army is threatening to kill. To stand still when the army is moving. Standing still is just not an option for that moment, however Moses obeys the Lord and does what is uncommon to men. To stand still, and see! Not run, not hide, not even fight, but stand still!

Let FAITH fight for you! 

What you see today, is not what you’re going to see tommorow, IF you stay still. Things can turn around in a heartbeat. Today you may be facing a BATTLE, but tommorow you will see VICTORY.

Standing still would require a greater amount of faith, and Israelite’s just didn’t have that at the moment. They are complaining, grumbling, and now the army they are running from, is following them.

Moses are you trying to kill us?

Moses, the leader of the Israelites, listening to their daily grumbling, musters up the courage and responds in a most awkward way!

I could not imagine being Moses, but I also remember moments when all I had was Faith! All I Could do was trust God. I couldn’t do what I needed to do unless God stepped in! I couldn’t move unless he told me to move.

Moses had to walk by Faith! Not knowing the results, but following through regardless. Waking by Faith requires confidence and trust like no other! Moses had to trust God and the plan for his life, and the life of Israelites.

Maybe today you are struggling to face your giants, and they are intimidating you, and it seems there is no way out. Maybe it’s your health, and it’s not getting better, or it’s your finances, only more bills to pay, or maybe it’s your spouse, who refuses to accept God’s plan for your life. Maybe your children are misbehaving, and there is no rest, or you got a huge amount of things to do on your list, seems there is no peace, no end to what is happening at the moment! Maybe you got all these situations coming up out of nowhere, and you just want to give up, when giving up is not even an option. Seems you are at the end of your rope, and all hope is gone. 

Fear not! The situations that you see today, will only last for a moment, for a time, for a season. We are to stand still, and trust God to handle the details. He is in control of your situation and he knows your NEXT! He knows and sees all, before you even formulate your sentences he already put a period.

Our God is MIGHTY, he is STRONG and he is POWERFULL!

Be still, and know, that God is in control. Don’t rush, don’t try to figure it out on your own, don’t complain, or even grumble, but stand still. 

Standing still is not the most comfortable thing to do, when situations and circumstances are out of your control. We as human beings do not stand still  we want to figure things out. The normal thing to do is worry,  get our list together, call up a few friends, get frustrated, mad, run, or hide.

But God says, we are to stand still.

To stand still – is to remain in place; hold still; remain fixed or immovable

Remain trusting, remain holding on to truth, remain fixed in standing, and not be moved by the situations that are surrounding us on all sides.

God is who he says he is, and he is a rewarder of them who diligently seek him.

God does truly have our best interests at heart. He will never leave us, nor will he forsake us, nor make you feel distressed, hold on to his hand, and trust your CREATOR to lead you and sometimes EVEN carry you!
