Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 16 February 2023
Imagine you are among these Israelites, seeing the host of the Egyptians pursing you with their horses, chariots, fully armed. Physically, you are no match to the soldiers and have no place to hide or run to. How will you feel and what will be your reaction (v.10)? The people were greatly afraid and reacted badly towards their leader.
What are you seeing today? Violence, kidnapping, high cost of living, joblessness etc.
These can cause your heart to fail. Moses’ declaration in v.13 is for you. Fear brings torment (1 John 4:18). It stirs up confusion and hopelessness. It leads to lack of trust in God and produces failure. Thank God for this word of assurance. Read v.13 again. In times like this, we need the word of God. It brings hope, encouragement, and peace. Amid crises, it takes away our confusion. It stirs up our faith in God.
Notice what happened in vs.15-25. Observe particularly what God did. The tide of battle turned against the Egyptians, and they testified in their confusion that the Hebrew God was fighting against them (v.25).
Practice/Word Application
And so: Jehovah, the man of war, knows how to handle your life’s battles. Only have faith in Him. By His grace, all the challenges we face today, we shall see them no more because God will fight for us.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Turn vs.13-14 into your prayer for today.
