What a reminder of Moses’ words to the Israelites after God had led them safely to the other side of the Red Sea: “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.” Sometimes, when I’m experiencing turbulent waters in my own life, I find being still to be one of the most difficult things in the world. When Pharaoh’s army was within sight and the Israelites felt that their lives were about to end, Moses’ word to them was, “Be still.” When we’re confronted with life’s challenges, our impulse is often to fight back or maybe to give up. But being still shows our trust that God is bigger than our challenges and that even when we are uncertain, God is faithful to us.
