“When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.”Exodus 14:10-16 ESV

All,
This stands out because Moses says, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today.” Do you need courage today? Is there a task before you that is creating anxiety or fear? Are you depending on yourself or God? Are you depending on the Creator or something He created? Please pray that we and our friends put ALL our hope in God. Please pray for the CLC Buckhead social on August 10th.
