Have you ever felt like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, with life's pressures closing in from all sides? On today's episode of Wisdom for the Day, Rick takes us on a heartfelt journey through Exodus 14:13-14, a passage that offers profound reassurance in times of overwhelming stress. Drawing parallels between the struggles faced by the Israelites and our modern-day challenges, Rick invites listeners to embrace the promise that the Lord will fight for us, and the only thing we need to do is to be still. It's not merely a religious mantra but a call to trust and find strength in the divine battle being waged on our behalf.

Our faith is often tested by financial stress, health issues, and relationship woes, yet there's solace in knowing the battle is not ours to fight alone. Rick reminds us of the victory already secured at Calvary and encourages us to stand firm in the knowledge that God is actively working for our good. As despair looms, he extends an invitation to pray for divine grace and victory over the struggles that threaten our faith. Tune in for a message of hope and renewal and let the wisdom of scripture guide you to a place of peace and courage in facing life's trials.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:24.785
Today is day 40.

00:00:24.785 --> 00:00:26.289
Stand still.

00:00:33.052 --> 00:00:34.560
From Exodus, chapter 14, verse 13.

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.582
Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.

00:00:37.582 --> 00:00:41.725
In the eyes of Pharaoh, the Israelites were as good as sheep for the slaughter.

00:00:41.725 --> 00:00:48.493
His former slaves were wandering aimlessly in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.

00:00:48.493 --> 00:00:51.816
Now, as Christians, we sometimes feel the same way.

00:00:51.816 --> 00:01:01.883
We're overwhelmed, we're confused, we're uncertain of where to turn.

00:01:01.883 --> 00:01:04.027
Financial pressures close in on one side, health issues press in from the other.

00:01:04.027 --> 00:01:07.254
Relationship problems seem to attack from every direction.

00:01:07.254 --> 00:01:16.915
Panic grips us and for some, the despair leads to drastic choices, like trying to escape through harmful means.

00:01:16.915 --> 00:01:19.186
But there's another way.

00:01:19.186 --> 00:01:27.045
In the middle of our struggles, we're given an incredible promise the Lord will fight for you.

00:01:27.045 --> 00:01:29.165
Exodus 14, 14.

00:01:29.165 --> 00:01:35.492
Have we forgotten that God stands right by our side, ready to go to battle on our behalf?

00:01:35.492 --> 00:01:38.066
And what's required of us?

00:01:38.066 --> 00:01:42.340
You only need to be still Now.

00:01:42.381 --> 00:01:47.390
This is no small task Trusting God in the middle of chaos is a challenge.

00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:54.093
It demands faith and focus to believe that God will rescue us, even when all seems hopeless.

00:01:54.093 --> 00:01:57.364
Some of us might be in despair today.

00:01:57.364 --> 00:02:03.242
We might feel pinned down by sinful habits or crushed by temptations that seem too strong.

00:02:03.242 --> 00:02:08.451
Problems can weigh us down, leaving us staggered and unsure.

00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:10.395
But take heart.

00:02:10.395 --> 00:02:13.646
God has already gone on the offensive for our sake.

00:02:13.646 --> 00:02:23.794
Ultimately, at Calvary, on that hill, jesus engaged the forces of evil and triumphed over them by giving his life for us.

00:02:23.794 --> 00:02:32.048
Today we share in his victory and he's still moving powerfully on behalf of his people.

00:02:32.048 --> 00:02:37.347
Stand firm in the knowledge that the battle belongs to the Lord.

00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:41.680
Trust that he's fighting for you even when you feel surrounded.

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.242
Even when you feel surrounded, pray with me, lord, god.

00:02:46.242 --> 00:02:50.348
Greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world.

00:02:50.348 --> 00:02:56.235
By your grace, give us the victory today over the pressures that threaten us on our journey of faith.

00:02:56.235 --> 00:03:00.783
In Jesus' name, amen.

00:03:00.783 --> 00:03:08.883
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
