THEIR ONLY HOPE

Exodus 14:13-14, "And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. 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."

Lynne's devotional yesterday on Jehovah Nissi -the Lord of our battles
reminded me of this verse in Exodus. Can you just imagine the scene? Moses
leading a mass of people who, in great fear, realize they are trapped
between the Red sea and their approaching enemy. "And when Pharaoh drew
near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians
marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel
cried out to the LORD." Exodus 14:10

The Israelites had limited options. There is no way they could defeat the
Egyptians in their own strength. Their only hope was if Someone came to
their rescue. That someone was their God. "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; so the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD and His servant
Moses." Exodus 14:30-31

Do you have a battle that you simply cannot fight, let alone win? Cry
out to Jehovah Nissi and "Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,
which He will accomplish for you today."
