Peace: Be Still

In Egypt (sin). as God was about to part the waters with the wind and save the Hebrews, "Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace" (Exod 14:13-14). Then centuries later, "And Jesus arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm" (Mark 4:39) as God again saved his people from fear. What do we need to do to be safe? Be still, and let God do the saving!
