4 - Ex 14:14 (again)

Exodus 14:14

"The Lord will fight for you and you have only to keep still."

Context: This takes place as the Israelites flee from Egypt. They are at the sea and Pharaoh is bearing down on them in full force of his horses and chariots. They begin to panic and ask Moses why he brought them there to die. Verse 14 is Moses' reply to them.

In my own life, I think this points to my need to quiet my mind in it's anxious times and allow the Lord to go before me and do what he will. This does not call for my own inaction, but for my ability (through His grace) to rest in Him and proceed in faith that He has a plan.
