Stand — “And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:13-14, New King James Version)
We are reminded many times to stand a watch Daddy God fight for us. Not only in the Old Testament but also in the New! This doesn’t mean we do nothing, as some might think. Paul reminds the Ephesians, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”(Ephesians 6:13, NKJV)
Paul also reminds the Corinthians to stand. “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13, NKJV) These are just a few examples of standing still!
Standing is not doing nothing! In fact, standing can be very hard if we over think it. The writers of Psalm 46 coaches us on how do it. “Be still, and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10,NKJV)
Moses encourages the followers to watch and see. Paul reminds us after doing all we can, to stand in faith trusting God. Yes, we can learn to do this.
Remember, standing may seem inactive, but sometimes it’s very active!
Lets Pray:
Daddy God! Teach us the power of standing still and watching You fight for us. When we're surrounded by impossible situations like the Israelites at the Red Sea, help us not to be afraid but to stand and see Your salvation. Give us wisdom to know when to act and when to stand, when to move and when to be still. Help us understand that standing is not inactivity but active faith in Your power to fight our battles. Clothe us with Your full armor so we can withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We choose to be still and know that You are God, watching You be exalted among the nations and in the earth. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today’s Declarations:
I choose to stand still and watch God fight for me. I will not be afraid when faced with impossible situations because I know the Lord fights for me while I hold His peace. I take up the whole armor of God so I can withstand in the evil day, and having done all, I stand. I will be still and know that He is God, watching Him be exalted through my battles. I understand that standing is not inactivity but active faith, and inactivity is sometimes the most active thing I can do.
Be a Blessing,
