Today Scripture is Exodus 14:14,
“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
There are times in life when anxiety seems to take over. Perhaps you’ve faced a situation where you didn’t know how things would turn out—maybe it was a health scare, financial trouble, or a family crisis. In these moments, it can feel like the walls are closing in, and no matter how hard you try, there’s no clear way forward.
Our verse today offers us two great thoughts for such times.
First, it reminds us of divine support. Life can be full of challenges, and sometimes we feel like we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. But this verse shows us that we are never alone. When we go through hard times, God is with us, ready to help. His presence offers strength and comfort when we feel overwhelmed.
The second is the call to “be still.” To be still means to stop worrying and trust that God is in control. Often, we think we need to act immediately or fix everything ourselves, but sometimes the best thing to do is remember that God is our helper. He will “fight for you.” So, let go and let God.
When life feels chaotic, remember that stillness that invites God to work on our behalf. He has our backs! We don’t have to face our struggles alone.
