The greatest adventure of our lives comes when God is on our side and he fights for us as individuals or groups of people. If you are a child of God, you will learn to know the power of God working in your life, if you do not already know it. Israel had not been gone long from Egypt when Pharaoh realize how good he had it with Israel working for him as slaves. He decided to go and get them back by force. It did not take the army of Pharaoh long to catch up with the number of Israelites traveling across the desert. You can move a small army quicker then thousands of people any day. One people not sure how to pack get things in their cart/wagon/stretcher of some sort. Plus you got to get all the kids moving in the same direction as the adults Lets not talk about pit stops and breakfast that morning before the journey began. All taking time, and yet despite that Pharaoh was fast approaching Israel God put a wall between them so they could only follow Israel into their death. If God be for you who can be against you. If God says hold your peace best do so, because it means the battle is going to be won by Him. God had Moses lift up his hand and the Red sea before them divided and Israel cross through the walls of water on both sides. No doubt Israel was concerned when they approached the Red sea. How would they cross it they murmured to each other, to Moses and to God. Moses told them God would fight for them and he lifted up his hand as the Lord told him to and the water divided and the children of Israel crossed over to the other side. I say none of us would say a thing with a cloud following us at night and pillar of fire before us and cloud behind us at night and before us in the day. The miracle and signs that followed Moses was enough to give anyone a shock. Maybe it was God's Spirit upon the people that moved them to just obedience when they approached the Red Sea. Whatever was the cause it did not cause doubt or discord among the people. As the Lord had said he would fight for the people. The people looking back seen Pharaoh and his men following them across the dry land that was parted, only to see their chariot wheels being struck in the earth. What happened next was Moses obeyed the Lord and the water began to recede back causing Pharaoh men to drown.

I do not care who you are when the power of God begins to work in your life a fear will overcome you. It not about a time of rejoicing that the enemy is defeated, but knowledge you are in good standing with God for the moment, and for how long will it be before you not. Our human nature of wow God did this for me, or for my people will only last for a few days, no the story of Israel leaving Egypt would be repeated for centuries. To hold our peace when we want to fight, to hold our peace when we want to take charge of our situation we are in, is hard in the human sense, but God has the ability to fight two wars. The war of opposition caused by the enemy and war within the human brain that in rebellion against God in times of trouble. Our human instinct calmed by the power of God. I can only speak from my own experience what I think Israel must of felt at the moment of seeing the hand of God fight their battle by natures forces. Seeing the enemy die by the power of God. Scripture does say that they feared God and believed in God and believed Moses that day.

Peace in the storm, peace in the battle only can come from God. To hold one's peace is not to speak without thought or wisdom. To say nothing would be the wised decision. Israel in the honeymoon stage of their relationship with God. This is an personal encounter with God in a mighty way. This is not just about simple faith in Egypt where a woman built a little ark and placed her son in and he was saved, this is faith being stretched to a fear factor level of a living God that cared about them so much as to destroy the enemy with one sweep of rushing water flowing over top of their enemies, like in the days of Noah when the flood came to the mockers of faith.

Science still tries to disprove this story, but there is evidence and proof the chariots got stuck in the mud, or at least that what they think they see in the bottom of the Red sea today. That is where faith must be applied. With proof it makes the story more believable to the believer, and to the nonbeliever it gives a shimmer of hope. Does God still fight our battles, the answer is yes. Maybe the war we are fighting is not as dramatic as the Red Sea event in Exodus, we can rest assured if we are on God's side, he got our back. Hold your peace and let God fight your battles. Ask the Lord what you need to do and if He lays on your heart he fight your battle, then hold your peace. God won the battle over sin through His Son Jesus, he will win those battles in your life as long as your on his side.

Don't worry about complaining to God or being angry at times in faith, it when we need to rest in God's power and ability instead of allowing our emotions to control us. Yet if we are going to allow God to work in our life we have to learn to trust in God and hold our peace and see what God is going to do. Rest in peace knowing the first battle upon receiving Christ as Savior is won against the devil. Your second battle is long running it is the fight to avoid sin, and the third battle may come against the devil or those around you that torment you to try and destory you. Rest in the peace of God, because he will establish you and enable you to be all He desire you to be for His kingdom in glory. Be on the winning side and trust in Jesus today. Trust in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Stand in faith knowing the adversary the devil is trying to destory you. Guess what you are a child of God with faith in Christ Jesus.

If you look at the battle of Armageddon in the Continual Scripture Study, you will see God is fighting the battle against the devil. The battle of finality is coming, it is a battle that God will win, not the powers of the earth. Nor the power of the enemies, but his power and strength as he commands the angel to pour out the sixth vial, the seventh vial is to come.

Dear Heavenly Father, bring us peace in the storms and battle of faith against the enemy knowing you will fight our battles. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
