DAY 4 – Wednesday, July 16, 2025
“Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord”
Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT)
“But Moses told the people, ‘Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today… The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.’”
Devotional :
Sis… what do you do when your back is against the wall and there’s no way out?
What do you do when it feels like life is closing in on you, and you can’t go forward, backward, or even breathe?
You stand still.
In Exodus 14, the Israelites were trapped—Pharaoh and his army were chasing them down, and the Red Sea was blocking their escape. Fear was screaming. Panic was rising. And just when it looked like all hope was lost, Moses spoke a word straight from Heaven:
“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.”
Sister, this is your word too.
To the Woman of Encouraging Her Resilience…
I know you’re tired of holding on.
You’ve fought for your children, your sanity, your recovery, your purpose.
And now it feels like you’re standing between a rock and a hard place—with no help in sight.
But can I encourage you today?
Stand still. Don’t move. Don’t flinch. Don’t run. Don’t retreat.
The Lord is about to part the waters.
He’s about to make a way where there is no way.
He’s about to fight for you in a way that leaves no doubt that He alone did it.
Stillness isn’t weakness.
It’s a declaration of radical trust.
It says: “I may not see the solution—but I trust the One who holds it.”
It’s surrender without giving up. It’s faith without needing control.
This kind of stillness is holy.
It’s powerful.
And it opens the door for God to step in and show off His glory.
So today, take your hands off the situation.
Stop trying to figure it all out.
Stop rehearsing what they said, what they did, or what you can’t fix.
God is fighting for you. Just. Stay. Calm.
Challenge of the Day: Speak Faith Over Fear
Every time fear, anxiety, or doubt tries to rise up today, say this out loud with bold faith:
“God is fighting for me!”
No complaints. No panic. Just faith.
Even if your heart is trembling—choose to believe God’s hand is moving.
Prayer of the Day:
Lord, I admit—I’m tempted to panic. I want to run, react, and fix things myself.
But today, I choose stillness.
I choose trust.
Show me how to stand still when my world feels like it’s falling apart.
Calm the storm inside me.
Part the sea in front of me.
Fight the battle that feels too big for me.
I believe You are working, even when I can’t see it.
I believe salvation is coming.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Remember This, Sis:
You are not alone.
You are not trapped.
You are not forgotten.
You are standing in front of a miracle.
Don’t move. Don’t panic. Just stand still.
God is fighting for you—and victory is on the way.
