“And Moses said unto the people, ‘Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.’” (Exodus 14:13)
Fear, murmuring, complaining and blaming Moses for being caught between the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them, the Israelites were ready to surrender and go back to Egypt.
I see this same readiness to throw in the towel and give up because it’s tough being a Christian today. We are already defeated in the Christian life when we attempt to live it in the energy of the flesh.
Standing still is difficult when so many Christians and so many churches around us are worked up in a “dither” doing something. It was when the Israelites stood still that God performed His miracle of parting the waters of the Red Sea, allowing them to walk across on dry land. What impossibility are you facing?
