Sermon: 5/3/26- Wednesday's Devotional

Crying Out and Being Still
Reading: Exodus 14:10-14; Psalm 62:1-8

When the Israelites saw Pharaoh's army approaching, they faced annihilation. Their first response was right: they cried out to God. But Moses gave unexpected instructions: "Stand firm. Be still." This isn't contradiction but divine wisdom. Crying out acknowledges our dependence; being still demonstrates our trust. In crisis, our instinct is to run, fight, or frantically problem-solve. God invites a different response: bring your fear to Him, then wait expectantly for His intervention. This waiting isn't passive but purposeful—watching for God to act in ways beyond your imagination. The same God who parted the Red Sea can make a way through your impossible situation. What would change if you stopped running and started watching for God's path of deliverance?
