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!
