Just be still ...

But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.’
Exodus 14:13-14

I cannot help but think of the movie The Ten Commandments. This movie tells the story of God's deliverance of Israel from their slavery in Egypt. The movie scene of Exodus 14 is what comes to mind. For the days in which the movie was made the videographics excelled. You see, the deliverance that God delivered to Israel was the parting of the Red Sea for them to walk through to their freedom and for the Hollywoood visual effect of the parting sea Jello was used. It is worth seeing -- the whole movie was a high quality style.

Well, perhaps God has not parted a sea for you, but how has God pulled off a stunt just to make things right for moments in your life? Such reflection is a good way to start a day.
