And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” Exodus 14:13

I know you want to fight back.
I know you want to speak up.
I know you want to lash out.

You can’t see yourself “surviving” if you don’t.
You can’t see justice “prevailing” if you don’t.
You can’t see the Church “overcoming” if you don’t.

But, maybe the word of the Lord to you in this current season is…

BE SILENT.

In the life of a citizen of the Kingdom of God, sometimes “taking a stand” means “shutting your mouth.”

There is more than one occasion in the Scriptures where radical silence preceded supernatural victory…

“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.” Isaiah 53:7
