February 1- Faith In Waiting

Exodus 13:17-15:18
Matthew 21:23-46
Psalm 26:1-12
Proverbs 6:16-19

Exodus 14:13-14 reads "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." I love this verse! This has to be one of the best examples of what it is to have faith that the Bible has to offer. Faith isn't about us figuring it all out! Faith is about us depending on God to figure it all out! The point of this verse is that we must realize there are times when we can't do it! We can't make it! We can't solve it! We don't have what it takes! So, we trust him. "Just be still and know that I am God." Who'd have thought that faith would look like this? People, standing back and letting God work. Now, that takes some real faith!
