Fear Not
"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever."
Reflection
"Fear not. Stand still. See the salvation of the Lord." You may be standing before a Red Sea today. Behind you may be painful experiences, difficult circumstances and battles you thought you had overcome. Before you may be uncertainty and unanswered questions. But remember this: Your God is not intimidated by your Red Sea. Do not allow fear to push you back into the bondage God is bringing you out of. Trust Him, remain faithful and expect His intervention. The God who brought you this far has not abandoned you! BE STILL. TRUST GOD. HE WILL MAKE A WAY!
Speak these declarations over your life with faith: 1. I will not fear because the Lord is with me. 2. I refuse to be controlled by anxiety, uncertainty or intimidation. 3. I will stand firm in faith and trust God's timing. 4. The God who made a way through the Red Sea will make a way for me. 5. No obstacle is greater than the power of my God. 6. My present challenges will not determine my future. 7. I will not return to the bondage from which God has delivered me. 8. The Lord is fighting battles that I cannot fight on my own. 9. I will experience God's goodness and faithfulness in my life. 10. My life shall be a testimony of God's mighty power.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love, mercy, protection and faithfulness. Today, I stand upon Your Word in Exodus 14:13, choosing not to fear but to trust in Your mighty power. Lord, I surrender every challenge, worry and uncertainty in my life into Your hands. Deliver me from fear, anxiety and doubt. Give me the patience to wait upon You and the wisdom to follow Your direction. Just as You parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, make a way where there seems to be no way. Fight the battles I cannot fight, open doors no one can shut, provide where there is lack, bring healing where there is pain and restore hope where there is disappointment.
Father, strengthen my faith so that I may remain confident even when I cannot see what You are doing. Help me never to return to the bondage You have delivered me from. I declare that my challenges will not have the final word. I will not be defeated by fear because You are with me. Let my life become a testimony of Your goodness, power and faithfulness. I may not know how You will do it, but I know that You are able. I may not see the way, but I trust You to make a way. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
