STAND AND WATCH
Today's reading: Exodus 14-16

"But Moses told the people, Don't be afraid. Just stand where you are and watch the Lord rescue you. The Egyptians that you see today will never be seen again." Exodus 14:13 NLT

I quickly glanced over twenty-six translations of the Bible to see if it said the same things...and it did.

Twenty-six times, it says, Stand.

Stand and watch what the Lord is going to do.

Stand in anticipation of what God is up to.

Stand at attention for your Lord is in your midst.

Stand in expectation.

Stand in honor of being in His presence.

Stand in readiness of being able to move forward.

Stand in preparation of His next requirement of you.

Stand.

It doesn't say sit.

It sure doesn't say sit and moan.

It sure doesn't say sit and moan and twist your hankie and boo-hoo.

It doesn't say to lay in your bed with your covers drawn up tightly over your head.

It doesn't even say to hide out in your prayer closet until the coast is clear.

It says to stand.

Standing will give us a better view of what it is He is going to do for us, around us, with us and through us!

Let's stand!
