Exodus 14:13 NRSV
“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.”
This is just before the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. Go back and reread Exodus 14. Moses assured the people that those who troubled them would not be seen again- and they weren’t.
For us now, when we look to God, those that trouble us cannot affect us. In this case, we may see them but they have no power, they have nothing that can harm us. The key is to follow God’s instructions and he moves us though dangers seen and unseen, enemies we know and those we don’t. Moses watched for the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night to move safely toward what was promised. We watch what God is doing as we move safely to our promise, our hope. Enough for now.
