WHEN FAITH STANDS STILL!
Trusting God When You Cannot See the Way
Key Scripture:
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD.” — Exodus 14:13 (KJV)
Thought Of The Day...
There are moments in life when faith means moving forward, but there are also moments when faith means standing still and trusting God to move.
Israel experienced one of those moments at the Red Sea.
They had finally been delivered from Egypt, but suddenly they found themselves trapped. The Red Sea was in front of them. Pharaoh's army was behind them. Mountains and wilderness surrounded them. From a human perspective, there was nowhere to go.
But what looked like a dead end to Israel was actually the place where God was preparing to demonstrate His power.
Moses declared:
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD.” — Exodus 14:13
Sometimes God allows us to reach places where our resources, connections, intelligence, money, strength, and plans cannot rescue us. Not because God has abandoned us, but because He is teaching us:
“This battle will not be won by your strength. You are going to have to trust Me.”
FAITH DOES NOT DENY THE PROBLEM!
The Red Sea was real.
Pharaoh's army was real.
The danger was real.
But God was greater than everything Israel was facing.
Faith doesn't mean pretending everything is fine. Faith means looking directly at the situation and declaring:
“I know what I see, but I also know WHO I trust!”
Your situation may involve your family, finances, health, marriage, children, employment, ministry, or an uncertain future.
You may not know how God is going to work it out.
You may not know when He is going to work it out.
But faith says:
“Even when I cannot trace God's hand, I will continue trusting His heart.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us:
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
DON'T LET FEAR MAKE YOU FORGET WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE!
When Pharaoh approached, Israel became afraid.
Their fear became so powerful that they temporarily forgot the miracles God had already performed in Egypt.
Isn't that sometimes like us?
God has brought us through things before.
God has opened doors before.
God has healed broken situations before.
God has provided before.
God has protected us before.
But when the next Red Sea appears, fear whispers:
“What are you going to do now?”
Faith responds:
“The same God who brought me through THEN is still God RIGHT NOW!”
David understood this principle. Before facing Goliath, he remembered how God had already delivered him from the lion and the bear.
Yesterday's testimony can become today's ammunition for faith.
YOUR RED SEA MAY BECOME YOUR TESTIMONY!
God told Moses:
“Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it.” — Exodus 14:16
Then the impossible happened.
God made a highway through something that had previously been an obstacle.
The Israelites walked across on dry ground.
Think about that.
God didn't simply remove the problem.
He made a pathway through it.
Sometimes we pray:
“Lord, take this away.”
But God may answer:
“I'm going to take you THROUGH it, because when you come out, you will know that nobody brought you through but Me.”
Isaiah 43:2 declares:
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee.”
Notice God said “when,” not “if.”
There will be waters.
There will be fires.
There will be difficult seasons.
But there will also be God's presence.
WHAT IS BEHIND YOU CANNOT STOP WHAT GOD HAS AHEAD OF YOU!
The enemy thought Israel was trapped.
Pharaoh probably believed he had them exactly where he wanted them.
But Pharaoh didn't realize:
God had positioned Israel exactly where HE wanted them.
The place that looked like Israel's destruction became the place of their deliverance.
That's a word for somebody today:
Don't judge your future by what your situation looks like right now.
God can turn your Red Sea into a roadway.
God can turn your battle into a testimony.
God can turn your delay into preparation.
God can turn your pain into purpose.
God can turn what looked like your ending into your new beginning.
KEEP WALKING BY FAITH!
Once the sea opened, Israel still had to walk through it.
Faith isn't simply believing that God can open the door.
Faith is having enough confidence in God to walk through when He opens it.
There comes a moment when prayer must be accompanied by obedience.
Exodus 14:15 records God saying:
“Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.”
In other words:
You've prayed.
You've cried.
You've trusted.
Now MOVE!
There are seasons to stand still and see God's salvation, and there are seasons when God says:
“GO FORWARD!”
Don't allow fear to keep you standing in a place God has already given you permission to leave.
TODAY'S FAITH DECLARATION
I will not allow what I see to cancel what God has spoken.
I believe that the God who opened the Red Sea is still able to make a way where there appears to be no way.
I will not surrender to fear.
I will not allow yesterday to imprison tomorrow.
I will trust God when I understand Him, and I will trust Him when I don't.
My Red Sea will not drown me—it will become part of my testimony!
The Lord is with me.
The Lord is fighting for me.
The Lord is making a way for me.
And when God says move—
I'M GOING FORWARD BY FAITH!
PRAYER...
Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, thank You for being the God who makes ways where there seem to be no ways.
Lord, some of us are standing before situations that look impossible. We see the Red Sea in front of us and trouble behind us, and we don't know which direction to turn.
But today, we choose faith over fear.
Remind us of every mountain You have already brought us over, every valley You carried us through, every door You opened, and every battle You fought on our behalf.
When fear tells us that it's over, remind us that You have the final word.
When we cannot see the road ahead, teach us to trust the One who already knows the destination.
Give us faith to stand still when You say wait and courage to go forward when You say move.
Father, part every Red Sea standing between us and Your purpose. Strengthen every discouraged heart. Restore hope to everyone who feels surrounded. Give peace to those waiting for answers.
And when You bring us through, we will not take the credit.
We will testify:
“The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.” — Psalm 126:3
We believe You are still working.
We believe You are still making ways.
We believe the same God who delivered Israel is still our God today.
In Jesus' mighty name,
AMEN!
Final Thought...
When you cannot see a way forward, don't assume there isn't one. The God who created the sea can also create a road through it.
STAND IN FAITH. TRUST GOD. AND WHEN HE SAYS GO—GO FORWARD!
