 Promise #290: If you remain still, I will do your fighting for you. Exodus 14:14 (WEB) Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.” In today's promise, we have a beautiful assurance that the God who spoke the entire universe into existence will fight for us if we only remain still. The NIV Bible says this verse this way...The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." I believe there is something in God's heart that fights on our behalf when we do not try to fight for ourselves. Waiting on the Lord is not passive but the most active thing we can do. When we wait on God to fight for us, we put ourselves in a very vulnerable position, and by doing so, we demonstrate in a very practical way that we know that our heavenly Dad is the source of our help. Does this mean that we never wage warfare on a spiritual level? After all, the Bible says we are to 'resist the devil and he will flee,’ 'take on the full armor of God,' etc. What Exodus 14:14 is talking about is fighting in our own strength. There is a vast difference between fighting our battles in our best efforts and fighting our battles in the power of the Lord's might. When we learn that the battle is the Lord's, we can rest in His ability to save us and then we can draw from His strength, not our own. Whatever struggle you face today, be comforted knowing you have a Father (God) and a big brother (Jesus) fighting on your behalf. You only need to be at peace and watch what happens.
