Great spiritual victories are seldom won without fierce battles. One of the enemy’s favorite tactics is to turn the people of God against their leaders. That’s exactly what happened when Moses confronted Pharaoh. Instead of letting the Israelites go Pharaoh doubled their workload. When the people learned of this they were angry and turned on Moses, “May the Lord look upon you and judge you! You have made us a stench to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us” (Exodus 5:21). In times like that the spiritual leader must not waver.
“Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.’”
— Exodus 14:13 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, give us the faith and the strength to stand firm until You deliver us. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
