STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF YAHWEH
(Ex.14:13 ; 2 Chronicles 20:17 ; Luke 3:6)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Have you found yourself in a crisis or circumstance beyond your logical reasoning that you are trying desperately to work out, or figure a way out? Have your worries and frets turned into a great sense of fear and hopelessness?
You seem to have done all that you could possibly think of to do in order to rectify the situation to no avail.

Sometimes we all experience these moments in time where we feel that all hope is lost and we are on the brink of loosing our sanity, because when a problem occurs we have an instinctive will to figure out what to do and fix it, on our own.

There are many instances in the bible you can read where the People of Yahweh, came upon situations that was out of their hands, and there was no foreseeable way out that they could see.

For example, in Exodus 14th chapter the Children of Israel who were delivered out of Egypt by the hand of Moses, after Pharaoh decided to let them go, then changed his mind and called for his military to go after them, with himself as commander and chief.

And as the Israelites came to the Red Sea (Exodus 14:10), they noticed that the Egyptians were on their trail and they became sore afraid and began to cry to Yahweh, and argued with Moses for bringing them to that point because the situation looked GRIM..

It was chaotice and seemed grave, they just did not see or even plan a way out this one, there was no alternatives. And it was at this critical time that Moses admonished them saying, "FEAR YE NOT, STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF YAHWEH."

And Yahweh sent an east wind to open the Red Sea all that night, and made a Highway in the midst thereof, it was a great escape from the crisis at hand. It was one of the most beautiful stupendous miracles ever performed by our Heavenly Father in the sight of the children of Israel.

Now that was just one among many physical example for us to look back on and use in our lives today, so that we can witness the same miracles of being delivered.
We have to let Yahweh make a way out of no way and only He can do that for us if we let Him.

But because the mind is liken unto a sea of thoughts that is never calm, it is capable of experiencing tsunami's and tidal waves of thoughts. It is unstable and tossed to and fro both day and night.

It's like unstable waters during a bad storm...and Yahweh has to rebuke those winds of thoughts that causes the mind to be in such an uproar (Matt. 8:26). Because it is only in the calm quietness of the mind that we can hear the SMALL STILL VOICE (1Kings 19:12) of our Savior speak.

It is only at this time that Yahweh speaks, as He spoke thru Moses to Israel saying, "FEAR YE NOT, STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION."
We begin to realize and understand that it is very important to "STAND STILL" not physically so but in one's mind.

In other words, stop trying to figure it out, stop trying to come up with an answer, throw all of that out, and be quiet in your mind so that you can hear that the Yahweh speak.

It is then and only then, that we get to witness those miracles, and after overcoming the problem, in our rejoicings, we should give Him the credit and honor for working it out, instead of saying "It worked itself out."

Remember, those people were called and known as the CHILDREN of Israel (Jacob), and Yahweh's Son, (Exodus 4:22 ; Exodus 13:15 ; Proverbs 8:32 ; Matthew 2:15 ; Mark 9:37) so also are we if we do the will of our heavenly Father.

Having said that, since Yahweh has declared us His children and son, then what is expected of a child or children is obedience to their parents voice. We also realize that it is the parents that usually work out their childrens problems and misfortunes when they're young, that is the job of the parent until the children are grown.
And that is the way it is in the Spirit with Yahweh our Father or Parent, He works out all of our problems so long as we are obedient to his words.

So, if you are experiencing a crisis at this time, or when a crisis ocurres, remember, "FEAR YE NOT, STAND STILL (IN YOUR MIND) AND SEE THE SALVATION OF YAHWEH."

Stand

by Donnie McClurkin
album: Donnie McClurkin (1996)

(What do you do) when you've done all you can
And it seems like it's never enough
And what do you say when your friends turn away
And you're all alone
Tell me what do you give when you've given your all
And it seems like you can't make it through
Well you just stand, when there's nothing left to do
You just stand, watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you've done all you can, you just stand

Tell me how do you handle the guilt of your past
Tell me how do you deal with the shame
And how can you smile while your heart has been broken
And filled with pain filled with pain
Tell me what do you give when you've given your all
And it seems like you can't make it through
Child you just stand when there's nothing left to do
You just stand watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you've done all you can, you just stand

(Stand) and be sure (and be sure)
Be not entangled in that bondage again, you just stand
(Stand) and endure (and endure)
For God has a purpose yes God has a plan, tell me
(What do you do) When you've done all you can
And it seems like you can't make it through
Child you just...stand (stand) you just stand (stand) stand (stand)
Don't you dare give up (you just)

Through the storm (stand)
Stand through the rain (stand)
Through the hurt (stand)
Yeah through the pain (you just)

Don't you bow (stand) and dont you bend (stand)
Don't give up (stand) no dont give in (you just)
Hold on (stand) , just be strong (stand)
God will step in (stand), it won't be long no no no(you just)

After you've done all you can (after you've done all you can)
After you've done all you can (after you've done all you can)
After you've gone through the hurt (after you've done all you can)
After you've gone through the pain oh my (after you've done all you can)
After you've gone through the storm (after you've done all you can)
After you've gone through the rain (after you've done all you can)

Prayed and cried x 4
After you've done all you can....you just ...
Stand.
