Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord

The children of Israel faced a great number of stressful, anxious moments, in their deliverance from Egypt and their journey through the wilderness. But it's hard to imagine any circumstance more stressful than being trapped at the edge of the Red Sea with the armies of Pharaoh closing in behind them. As Christians, because we live in a wilderness that sometimes feels as if the enemy is closing in around us, we're not immune from the same feelings of anxiety, worry and stress. God's encouragement to you and I, in those moments, is the same as it was for them, "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord."
