Exodus 14:12

Most of the time, we learn about what it is like to be guided by the Spirit, but not much is spoken about being backed by Him. In this devotional, we will learn about the versatility of God in difficult situations. He leads, and He supports. All we need to do is take a step of faith.

Jesus promises that if we stand in faith, we will “win life.” From Moses at the Red Sea, to Jesus with His disciples, Stand is the call to believe God and hold fast to His promises.

John Piper once said, “My job is faithfulness. God’s is fruitfulness.” That quote beautifully illustrates a tension we see throughout God’s Word—namely that while Scripture commands us to work hard, it also tells us that God alone produces results through our work. How do we manage this tension? That’s the question we’ll answer in this four-day devotional.
