In Exodus 14:13, Moses encourages the Israelites, saying, “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today.”
These words were spoken at a crucial moment when the Israelites found themselves trapped between the pursuing Egyptian army and the impassable Red Sea.
In the face of overwhelming fear and uncertainty, Moses exhorts them to trust in God’s deliverance.

This verse resonates with timeless truth that transcends the specific circumstances of the Israelites.
It reminds us that fear is a natural response to threatening situations, but it should not dictate our actions or paralyse us with despair.
Instead, we are called to stand firm in faith, trusting that God is sovereign over every circumstance and capable of delivering us from any trial or tribulation.
The command to “fear not” is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, underscoring God’s faithfulness and power to overcome our fears.
When we fix our eyes on Him and His promises, we find courage and strength to face the challenges that lie ahead.
Our confidence is not based on our own abilities or resources but on the unchanging character of God and His unwavering commitment to His people.
Reflecting on this verse prompts us to examine the nature of our fears. Are we allowing fear to dictate our thoughts and actions, or are we entrusting our lives into the hands of the One who holds the future? Are we standing still in faith, confident that God will work all things together for our good?
