Stand Still

                               Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God - Job 37:14.  

             The Lord fought for the Israelites at the Red Sea and destroyed all the Egyptians. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace - Exodus 14:13,14. The Israelites stood still and saw the salvation of the Lord and His great works. So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt - Exodus 14: 30,31.

                    God promised Jehoshaphat that He will fight the battle and told them to just stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you - 2 Chronicles 20:17.  Jehoshaphat fixed his eyes upon the Lord and praised God instead of fighting the battle. For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You - 2 Chronicles 20:12. The Lord fought for them and he saw the salvation of the Lord in the battle.

                   Our God is a wonderworking God and a mighty warrior who fights for us. Let us stand still and see the great wondrous works of God in our life. Stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes - 1 Samuel 12:17. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth - Psalm 46:10. Let us not fear about anything but instead stand still and see the salvation of  the Lord with our eyes fixed on Him as He fights all our battles. I will lift up my eyes to the hills - From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth - Psalm 121:1,2.                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to stand still and see Your salvation and great works in our life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
