If your eyes are gazing upon this message right now, God wants to tell you this: you don’t have to finish everything today. I believe that God is targeting this message to those who feel like they have to handle every task that life throws at them today with their own strength, which is causing them to slowly snuff out that spark of the Spirit that resides in them, motivating them to keep moving. For the person that I’m talking about, I would like to give you an excerpt from the book of Exodus, chapter 14, verse 14, saying this: “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” You may or may not have heard this verse before, and even if you have, you may not understand how it might connect with your situation, which is why I would like to go over it in further detail. For context, this line was said by Moses while he was leading the Israelites away from the wrath of Pharaoh’s entire army. The group of escaped captives stopped at Pi-hahiroth, which was directly near the Red Sea; the Israelites were so dismayed, fearful, and anxious that they literally told Moses, “It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!”, leading to the response that this message is focusing on. This affirmation from Moses served as a turning point in the chapter since— after his statement— God used Moses’ staff to split the sea, effectively showing how surrendering all of your fears to God and realizing that He and His angels are already fighting the battles that you aren’t meant to fight. Speaking of angels, a similar message to this can be found in the book of Daniel, chapter 10, verse 12, where an angel of the Lord tells Daniel, “Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer.” Further conveying the idea that, if we just learn to let go of this idea that we have to control everything that shows up in our path and just let God do His thing —He’ll not only answer your prayer— He’s going to elevate you in ways that only He can do, because He is our God.
