Exodus 14:13-14 — The Lord Will Fight for You
Exodus 14:13-14 · Berean Standard Bible
Trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea, Moses tells the terrified Israelites in Exodus 14:13-14, 'Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today... The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.' It's the passage for facing a battle too big to win on your own—when the answer is to stop striving and let God fight for you.
13But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.
14The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
