Silent Fight

8/1/2016

"The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent." -Exodus 14:14 (NASB)
While eating lunch in a restaurant the other day, my daughter and I witnessed an unhappy customer.  The customer seemed to be having a bad day from the start and the server wasn't able to please him.  The server and then the manager realized the customer wasn't happy and seemed to be looking for someone on which to take out his anger.  Sometimes we may get caught up in a situation that we feel could lead to a fight.  How do we respond?

Moses was leading the Israelites through a time when they faced situations that could have seemed like they were moving toward a fight.  Moses reminded the Israelites that God would fight and all they had to do was be silent.  When we are faced with situations that seem to be leading us toward a confrontation or a fight, we need to remember that God is in control.  We do not have to respond or engage with every criticism or provocation directed at us.  Instead, we can take our situation to God in prayer and listen to His response.  He may tell us to allow Him to fight for us while we stay silent!

You can be silent when God is fighting for you!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being willing to fight for me.  Help me to know when to be silent and how to respond in all situations.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
