Leviticus 1:1-17; Psalms 96:1-98:9; Acts 24:24-25:12
Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day. Exodus 14:13
So spake Moses to Israel when the Red Sea was before them, and the might of the Egyptian army behind them. We can well imagine that Israel found it was difficult to “stand still” under these circumstances, and to feel that they had to do something to deliver themselves. So it is with us. When we face insurmountable problems, it is so difficult to “stand still”, and allow God to bring peace to our troubled hearts. Israel found that when they left things to God, He
did not fail them, and so also will we who trust Him. —W. H. Burnett
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,
Finding as He promised, perfect peace and rest. —J. Mountain
