Exodus 14:13

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

The Israelites had escaped the bondage and slavery of Egypt and now with the Red Sea before them and the Egyptians pursuing behind them, they felt trapped, and complained to Moses that they should have just stayed in Egypt and endured the cruel slavery. This gave rise to Moses’ response, “Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD.” In like manner, you may have escaped Satan’s bondage by coming to Christ, but now face problems that seem to be unsolvable. Maybe you feel hemmed in and helpless. Leave off murmuring and complaining and begin calling upon the LORD. He is a miracle-working God, and He didn’t bring you out of Satan’s grasp just to leave you stranded in the wilderness. “Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD.”
