[The Glory Unveiled]
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. [ Exodus 14:14 KJV ]
It is almost impossible for a person who is accustomed to constant activity to do nothing. For such people, movement becomes identity. Productivity becomes proof of worth. To them, doing nothing means irresponsibility. So even when help is offered, they resist it. They have been trained to believe that accepting help is weakness, that dependence makes them less authentic, less capable, less valuable. But Scripture and life teach us a different truth: accepting help is not weakness—it is wisdom. No one has it all together. We were not created to carry everything alone. We were made to pour out our strength and, in due time, to be replenished. And often, replenishment comes through help we did not produce ourselves. Consider the Israelites. Their story up to that point had been one of constant movement—marching out of Egypt, journeying toward a land they had never seen, surviving by obedience and motion. Then suddenly, they were trapped. The Red Sea before them. Pharaoh’s army behind them. The desert hemming them in on both sides. Logic demanded action. Strategy demanded effort. Survival seemed to depend on doing something—anything. And yet, in that moment, God gave them an instruction that cut against every instinct they had: “Stand still. Hold your peace. The Lord will fight for you.” What a strange command. To be still when danger is advancing. To be silent when fear is shouting. To do nothing when everything in you is screaming to act. But when they obeyed—deliverance came. So if you find yourself boxed in today, pressed on every side, perhaps the call is not to fight harder but to trust deeper. Maybe this is not the moment for you to win the battle, but for God to fight it. Perhaps your assignment is not action, but faith. Not striving, but surrender. Let God do the fighting—while you do the believing.

Wisdom_Quote: Often, the best time to hold your peace is when your situation is dictating to you.
