Fear Not!

BIBLE MEDITATION:

“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” Exodus 14:13

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Three hundred and sixty-five times in the Bible—once for every day of the year—it says, “Fear thou not,” or its equivalent, “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man shall do.” 

Sometimes we come to a place where things are out of our hands. There is nothing we can do. Oh, we hurry around, we’re so busy manipulating, trying, conniving, and scheming. But finally we come to a place where God hems us in, and there is no way out but up. God places us where there is nothing we can do. There is no one to help us. God just says, “Fear not, stand still … and see the salvation of the LORD.” 

ACTION POINT:

Read those words again: “ye shall see them again no more forever.” When you come to the place of desperation, what does God want you to do? Number one, “Fear not.” God wants you to come to this place of dependence that you may learn there is nothing to fear and He may say to you, “Fear not” and "Stand still."

Just stand still. "Be still and know that I am God."
