Exodus 14:13-18 “But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground. And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will charge in after the Israelites. My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers. When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!”
Yes, I will protect you. Yes, I will see that your enemies are overcome. But that does not mean you are to just sit and do nothing! See what I told Moses. “Tell the people to get moving!” And so, Child, when you are in a battle, you are to fight also. You are to engage also. I will show you how. I will lead you in what to do. But sitting around waiting on Me is not what I have for you. While you await specific battle plans, you are to be in prayer. You are to be in My Word. You are to be putting on your armor, ready to go forth at a moment’s notice. This is your battle, also.
