The Lord Himself will fight for you

"But Moses answered the people, "Fear not! Stand your ground, and you will see the victory the LORD will win for you today. These Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again. The LORD himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still." (Exodus 14: 13 - 14)

In the fall of 1986, the above scripture opened my eyes to the power of the word of God.  I was in a very tight corner.  I was working in Paris with Unilever as an expatriate manager.  My job was threatened and I faced an imminent cancellation of my contract. I was lying awake one night tossing on my bed, restless and sleepless when my eyes caught the above scripture.  It filled me with hope and power.  I had nobody to defend me but God alone.  And He promised to do it.  I believed it.  The result was victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.  The consequence was great faith in the power of the word of God that has lasted till today.
Thank you Holy Spirit for 1414.
