Devotion – Exodus 14

S – But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord’s salvation that he will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you must be quiet.” 

Exodus 14:13–14 CSB

O – Even after the plagues, the Egyptians did not recognize God for who He is and neither did the Israelites.  Moses did and activated his faith.

A – What strikes me about this verse is “you must be quiet.”  The other parts are found throughout the Bible – don’t fear, stand fear, see what the Lord will do, and defeat the enemy.  You must be

quiet stops the people from expressing their lack of faith.  Instead of rehearsing your defeat, allow God to show you the victory.
