Feeling reassured...

Exodus 14:13

Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹³ Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.

Why is it sometimes easy to believe that God is able to do the impossible, but more difficult to believe (or more so trust) that God can do for us what God does for others EVERY day? Every day happenings in the lives of others, we somehow have an issue believing that those same things can be done for us. I believe that my God can do what NO man can do. I believe that God can open doors that no man can shut and close doors that no man can open. Yet, every now and again my hope wanes and I begin to think that my small stuff cannot be fixed. Oh, but when God said to me "Stand still" and I read this verse, I was reassured that God shall deliver me in the face of the seemingly impossible challenge and I had a revelation. SURELY if God can do the IMpossible then God can do the absolutely possible! It IS God that we're talking about and for God NOTHING is IMpossible. Just as the Israelites faced the red sea in front of them and Pharoah's army behind them and God told them through Moses to "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord," God is telling some of us that very same thing, STAND. STILL. I'm so glad those were my most recent instructions. There is rest in knowing that God has said "I've got this." Instead of continuing to allow myself to think that my stuff is too hard for God, I'll just stand and watch the salvation of the Lord this very day. Will you stand and watch with me?
