What do you have in your hand today?

Exodus chap 14 : 13- 14 : Moses answered the people, ”Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. ‘The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.”

When the Lord say He will fight for his people the Lord gave an instruction to Moses.

Exodus chap 14 : 15 Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

Moses heard the instruction clearly. Although seeing the huge Egyptians coming after them, He did not fret nor got fearful. He obeyed the voice of the Lord. He knew the Lord. At that moment of time, he only had the staff and he obeyed the Lord.

Exodus chap 14 : 21 : Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

Exodus chap 14 : 26-28: Then the Lord said to Moses, ”Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen. ‘Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it and the Lord swept them into the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen-the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

Through this passage we see clearly no any Egyptians survived. Are there Egyptians in your life right now? It may not be soldiers coming after you but deep down in your heart you are facing some challenges in your life. It can be your health, your finances ,your work or your relationships.

Do not be afraid. Stand firm and watch how God destroys the Egyptians completely. Like how The Lord instructed Moses to do something which may not sound logical. Imagine taking a staff to divide the sea when there are huge Egyptians coming after them! Sometimes we have to just obey. Don’t miss the Lord’s voice.

It is important to seek God and hear his instruction for our life. Just obey them. What do you have in your hand today? Moses had a staff and he used it. If you answer you do not have anything, then you are not ready to destroy the Egyptians in your life. It can be anything. Your time, your commitment, your talent, your work, your car. It can be anything.

Seek the Lord. Get serious in destroying the Egyptians completely. What do you have in your hand today? The rest Let God handle.

Say this today :I thank you Lord -R.J.JOHN

Prayer: ”Abba, I thank you Lord for your goodness upon me. I will remain still. Thank you for destroying the Egyptians.

Application: Use whatever that is in your hand. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Seek God. Be still. Let the Lord fight the battle.
