"YOU HAVE ONLY TO BE SILENT!"

Exodus 14:13-14
"13 And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which HE will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and "YOU HAVE ONLY TO BE SILENT"!!



Sometimes I awake with the LORD trying to speak to me, and sometimes it is the enemy that tries to interject fear and doubt so my faith is shaken.  A few minutes ago, at just past midnight, my mind was racing!   Last evening was the latest Republican Presidential debate.  I try to avoid watching them due to all of the hyperbole and rhetoric displayed, but my social media feeds were lit up with commentary about what PEOPLE thought about the outcome of the evening.   My mind wanted to be upset with those who disagreed with what GOD says is the best choice for us and what "this world" thinks!  Then my Spirit, which is diametrically opposed to "this world" (Galatians 5:17) calmly remembered one of my favorite scriptures, in Exodus 14:14 where Moses tells his people "The LORD will fight for you, and "YOU HAVE ONLY TO BE SILENT"!  

Why would GOD not want HIS people to fight for HIM so HE could win an overwhelming victory?  Why would HE not direct Moses to develop a game plan where the enemy would be overcome by the 2.5 Million (or more) Israelites waiting to cross the Red Sea?  Would they have been any more effective than GOD's Plan?   Could they have inflicted more damage than GOD did all by HIS self?

When we are in our darkest hour, when things are totally beyond our control, and when there seems to be NOTHING we can do to save ourselves, watch out!  GOD may be getting ready to do something only HE can do!  And when HE does there is no mistaking WHO is at work!  In 2009, after I developed a Brain Hemorrhage, I was put into medically induced coma.  After almost three weeks of me TOTALLY being out of control, GOD stepped in and did a work that only HE could do.  I'm not worthy, but HE did it anyway!  All I had to do was BE SILENT!

Sometimes GOD directs us to "ONLY TO BE SILENT" so HE gets us out of HIS way.  HE doesn't need us to do anything for HIM but obey!  Why can't I join in and share what GOD's Word says about the fiasco America finds itself in?  For now at least, GOD is telling me "The LORD will fight for you, and "YOU HAVE ONLY TO BE SILENT"!!
