Exodus 14:13 (NIV) “Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.’"
Today’s Scripture Lesson
The Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea, with Pharaoh’s army closing in behind them. Panic would be understandable. But Moses delivered this powerful message: “Stand firm.” In other words, don’t run, don’t panic, and don’t give up. God is about to act.
This verse is a reminder that when life backs us into corners, God is not absent. He is about to deliver us in ways we could never imagine. Sometimes the greatest act of faith is not movement, but stillness—trusting that God will fight for us.
