Man's Extremity is God's Opportunity

Week of June 06, 2025

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14, NKJV)

Have you found out that life has a way of throwing battles your direction? The good news is we are not fighting alone.

In Exodus 14, God’s people found themselves in an impossible situation. Pharaoh’s army was pursuing them from behind, and in front of them, was the Red Sea. Fear spread through the camp. But then, Moses spoke words that would echo through generations. “The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.” In other words, when the enemy is advancing and your options seem exhausted, don’t panic. Trust in the God who parts seas and makes a way where there is none. God didn’t leave them to figure it out on their own. He intervened and led them safely through.

Often, God allows us to reach the end of ourselves before He steps in. “Man’s Extremity is God’s Opportunity.”

The battle you’re facing might not be about what you can do – but about what God wants to do in you and through you as you trust Him.

Identify one battle you’ve been trying to fight in your own strength. Now read Exodus 14:14 and believe this scripture. Watch how your perspective begins to shift as you release it to Him.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
