TOPIC: FEAR NOT

READ: EXODUS 14:13-31 (NKJV)

13. And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

14. “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

15. And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

16. “But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.

17. “And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

18. “Then the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

19. And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

20. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness [to the one,] and it gave light by night [to the other,] so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

21. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry [land,] and the waters were divided.

22. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry [ground,] and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

23. And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24. Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.

25. And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”

26. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

27. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, [and] all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

29. But the children of Israel had walked on dry [land] in the midst of the sea, and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

30. So the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

31. Thus Israel saw the great work which the LORD had done in Egypt; so the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD and His servant Moses.

THE MESSAGE:

There are several factors that introduce fear into the life of a man. Most often they include threats to life, danger, failure, etc. When fear comes, it produces many adverse effects in the body system that can lead to sickness and death.

The Lord commanded the Priest to address the army of Israel before they set out for war. He was to say to them, ‘Hear O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies, do not be faint-hearted or afraid, do not be terrified or give way to panic before them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you…’ (Deuteronomy 20:3-4). It was in this vein that Moses addressed the people in the midst of their fears and said, ‘Fear Not’ (verse 13). Even the greatest warrior, or strongest man, needs such encouraging charge at one point or the other in his life. At a point in David’s life, he was very fearful and went barefooted hiding in a bush. Jonathan – his friend – sought him out and strengthened him in God by saying to him, ‘Do not be afraid’ (1 Samuel 23:16-17).

There is need that leaders should often, like Moses, bring encouragement and hope to their members in the face of troubles of this world. Let us encourage one another in the Lord.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, deliver us from fear
