"And Moses said to the people, 'Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.'" -Exodus 14:13-14 (ESV)
Whether we attribute it to human nature or the society in which we live, we often feel the need to get the last word. Sometimes it seems that we need to be the loudest to have our voice heard or to have our victory. We see this reinforced through political and advertising campaigns, but sometimes victory can come when we are silent!
Having faith in God is more important than being the loudest. When we have faith in God and we trust in Him, then we can stand firm without fear. With faith in God, we can know His will and His power in making His will reality. There may be times when God calls us to use our voice and to be heard, but there are times when we also need to be silent. We may need to be silent so we can listen and hear God's voice. We may need to be silent to allow God to change hearts and minds, both our own and those of others around us. We may need to be silent to allow God's plan to work in our lives. When we communicate with God through prayer, we can know when to use our voice to be heard and when to be silent to allow God to work in our lives for His victory and glory!
Sometimes you have to be silent to allow for God's victory and glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being an active part of my life. Help me to know Your will in my life. Allow me to know when to use my voice and when to keep silent. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
