Stand Still.....

I went to my daughter's church on the first of this new year and the pastor had individual sections of the congregation stand up and receive a verse that he personally prayed for. My verse;

Exodus 14:13-14 NLT


But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.

I did the only thing I could do. I cried. I received this. I think. But what does this mean. First of all, me...stand still--yeah right! Second of all, me...don't be afraid---yeah right!

I am already being doubtful and disobedient. I am already wondering what I need NOT be afraid of--is there something around the bend that I should know about? Is something horrible going to happen. If only I could--WAIT--stand still? If only I could...Let Him.... I'm not sure why I cried, except that it felt powerful. It also felt good. For a pastor to tell me to NOT worry, let the all powerful one in charge....fight for me. How exciting.

This is my verse for the year of 2012. I am going to memorize it. I am going to study it. I am going to refer to it. I have faith that it is going to carry me through. God works in really cool ways, I can't wait to see His plan for me for this year!
