Chill Out!

But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.  The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.  The Lord himself will fight for you.  Just stay calm.” [Exodus 14.13-14]

Just stay calm?

Just stay calm?

Is that like saying, "Chill out!"?

I admit I started this day with some worry.  I have concerns.  It seems things are not going the way I had envisioned.  I fear I will lose ground.  An overwhelming "army" pursues me - threatening me.  Did I make a wrong turn?  Did I follow a bad plan?  Will my faith be met with disaster?  Is this how God will be glorified?

Maybe today's OT reading is JUST for me!

Father, if I have missed You, then I, of all men, am most utterly and miserably foolish.  However, I will attempt today to chill out - to just stay calm.  I will declare my faith here and we shall all see if indeed You will be glorified in me.
