The Lord will fight for you...

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14 I always love the drive to visit my sister because it's hours in the car and I can think with so few interruptions. So I've begun to journal to verses in my diary. This is the one I wrote Sunday. That's tough to be so full of faith that we let God do all the fighting for us. Will He really do all the work? Don't I need to fight too and let Him help me? But that's not what this verse promises. God says we need only to be still. The ESV says to be "silent". Relax. Don't say a word. The Lord promises to fight for you. Pray about it, express your fears and concerns, but praise Him too for what He's about to do. For what He is doing! Be still, that's your part. The Lord Almighty is doing His!
