Today, as a body of women, let’s meditate on and memorize God’s word. Not for our own glory or honor, but for the joy of our Father and the growth of His Truth in our hearts.
“The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14 NIV
Please feel free to download this lockscreen for your phone to help memorize!
God will fight – he will protect us, guide us, watch over us, and send his Holy Spirit to cover us. We need to be still – still in atction, still in reaction, still our tongues and our tempers. We must first learn to look to him for his guidance and truth before we act on our own human impulses. There is no battle we can win on our own; especially if we desire to be a testimony in our daily lives, we need to be still and allow God to work.
This is such an amazing passage. & we have such an amazing Father. HE will fight for us! How much love he has for us. Even though I fall short (daily), he still loves me enough to fight for me.
Thank you Lord for your unconditional love!
& thank you ladies for being a part of this fantastic bible study. I get so much inspiration & comfort reading the messages you all post here. I’m struggling in many areas of my life & can relate to sooo many of the issues posted here. I have tried for many years to “fix” my problems myself…but I am trying to focus on my relationship with my Lord this year, & have faith that he will work my problems out…I just need to sit back & let him!
This was a breath of fresh air. I needed this. It’s so hard to let go and let God, but when I think about it, I know that when He fights the battle for me, it will be for His glory and my good. It sometimes (as I’ve had to learn the hard way) means dealing with disappointment, loss and pain, and the questions they bring. But God knows what is best, and will do what He knows will bring the greatest good, even if it means short-term pain.
This is a difficult passage for me to remember at times. I pray that The Lord God reminds me of this when I need to make the decision to be quiet and not open my mouth. I see that this is dated 1/6/13 but hope there are other women out there who are just going through this devotional now. I could use all of the support there is to offer. God Bless ~ Nic
It’s still true 8 months later! Perfect day for me to read this, as well as all of your comments.
Love this verse. My favorite one in the Bible. I think sometime we just talk and talk to God and never let Him talk back. A guest pastor at my youth group used the example of two people standing back to back. One person is constantly saying something. Asking questions, talking about themselves, saying something. They talked so much the other person didn’t Even have time to answer.
