Devine Guidance
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.
But, whatever Satan and his evil cronies may urge
upon a person, a child of God can’t follow it. His official sanction is for his
people to go from the strength to strength he provides, and that is the way his
people should go letting nothing turn them from that course. So, what if for a while you
are called to stand still, take it as an opportunity to renew your strength for
some greater progress at the right time. That’s why, God would have us stand still, put
on cheerful face, be courageous, and even in our worst times, rejoice and trust
in his love and faithfulness.
It pays to wait on the Lord. He will not only do
something, but will do whatever is needed to put space between us and our tight
spot. A person of faith in God doesn’t
listen to the wicked spirits; it hears God say, “Stand still,” and immovable as
a rock stands, and waits cheerfully and patiently for that same guiding voice to issue further orders. It will not be long before God will have the
escape arranged and then will direct, (as distinctly as Moses said it to the
people of Israel ),
“Go forward.”
Praise:
The LORD is
my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be afraid? (Psalms 27:1 (KJV )
Promise: For
I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will
help thee. (Isaiah 41:13 (KJV )
Prayer: O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have
waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the
time of trouble.
Isaiah 33:2 (KJV )
