OUR DEFENCE
■ Exodus 14:19-20 NKJV
[19] And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. [20] So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night. We come into the story, has the Israelites are escaping from Egypt by the delivering power and wonders of God, yet their enemy did not give up. Pharaoh and his army started to pursue the Israelites, and according to the scripture above, they got close but by the wondrous power of God, once again He protected and defended the Israelites from their enemy. Do you believe, that He is the same God yesterday, today and forever?
Well then, if He did it before, He is doing it and will do it again for you and I! I don’t know if you or any of your loved ones feel like their enemy is catching up, has the upper hand or winning, well I have good news for you!
God will put them in darkness and they will not come near you.
[7] A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. [8] Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
Therefore, stay calm (Exodus 14:14), your defence neither slumber nor sleeps over your matter.
