“The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (v.14)
Here in Chapter 14 the children of Israel are trapped, the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army approaching them from behind. The people seeing no (humanly) possible way out of trouble began to murmur and quarrel with Moses saying, “There were not enough graves in Egypt, so you have taken us away to die in the wilderness. Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians.” (v.11-12)
So typical of how limited our vision can be and how we cannot wait for God’s appointed timing. Moses on the other hand gets above the fear and says, “The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” In other words, compose yourself, remember who is in control and have confidence in Him. If God brings his people into trouble, you can be sure He will find a way to bring them out.
The Truth: “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)
