Exodus 14:13-14 - Be still...

 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Be still. This is good advice in most problematic situations in life, big or small. My first reaction to problems, especially small ones is to jump in and solve them, even if they are not my problem to solve. During the big problems,we often let our fight or flight instinct take over. We either react too quickly and usually not correctly or we run away and avoid the problem. If we are just still and we allow him to, God will take care of things for us. If we think and breathe before we react, we are likely to make a better decision. He will show us what we need to do and that may be nothing.

Lord, thank you for being there for us and fighting for us. Please help us to be still and allow you to take care of problems for us. Amen.
