Hold Your Peace

 “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Moses told the frightened Israelites that the Lord will fight for them and they shall hold their peace.  Our victory today is based on Christ’s victory at the Cross and God our Father gets the honour.  In Christ God is fighting our battles from beginning to end and the enemy knows he is fighting against God!  Let’s see our battle as His battle, standing still and seeing the salvation of our God.  Our enemy is satan who hated God before hating us and God declared war on him and his crushing defeat was manifest at the Cross. Christ spoiled principalities and powers, and made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  Satan can never know God’s war strategy which is revealed to us in Christ by the Holy Spirit.  Our war armour is God’s armour.  The Holy Spirit trains us for victory in our battle as we fix our eyes on Christ and not on our enemies.  If we focus on the devil, we are discouraged but when we focus on Christ, we sing thanksgiving and praise as we worship in the battle!  We keep our peace at all times because of our confidence in the finished and victorious work of the Cross.  Let’s not waste our time on the destructive works of satan, but on our all powerful Christ as we ascribe all glory, strength, power and victory to God.  Hallelujah!
