Exodus 14:13-14 ‘Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

In 1565, the Islamic army of the Ottoman Empire began marching to conquer Rome and other parts of Europe. At that time the Ottoman army was the largest in Europe.
Crucial to their plan was to capture the island of Malta, because of its strategic position near the center of the Mediterranean sea. From there it would be easy for them to conquer other surrounding European countries.
Many Christians feared this invasion would mark the end of Christianity in Europe. However as the Ottoman army marched, a group of Christian crusaders in Malta known as the ‘Knights of Malta’ prepared to fight and resist them. But it was like a David and Goliath situation; the knights were only about 8000 men while the Ottoman army, led by the feared Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, had over 40,000 soldiers.
The great Ottoman army arrived at Malta, expecting an easy victory, but the Knights of Malta fought bravely to resist them. This small band of Knights of Malta, fuelled by the passion to defend the Christian faith surprisingly killed many of the Ottoman soldiers.
After a long siege on the city, known in history as “the Great Siege”, the Ottoman army finally conceded defeat and left the area. After this humiliating defeat, the Ottomans made no further significant military advances into Europe and a few years later Sultan Suleiman died. The victory of the Knights of Malta became one of the most celebrated events of the sixteenth century. Obviously, God had helped the grossly outnumbered knights of Malta to overcome their stronger enemies.

Often, God uses battles that seem stronger than us to display His glory in our lives. This was what happened in Exodus 14 when the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh and the red sea.
In Exodus 14:13-14 Moses told them ‘Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
The truth is that every great destiny will be confronted with great battles. But those times when all the odds seem stacked against you, always remember that Jehovah is a man of war! He has never lost a battle, and He will never lose any.  When we stand in faith and hold our peace, He fights our battles for us.
In the case of the nation of Judah, when they were besieged by three enemy nations, God showed them how to enter their rest and allow Him to fight for them. In II Chronicles 20: 17 God told them to ‘set’ themselves to praise Him and He would take over their battle.
When any battle looks stronger than your capacity, then it is time to switch to praise. If you’re facing any situation, that has defied solutions and you don’t know what to do, then it is time to engage the weapon of praise.. Enter your rest and let God handle every opposition for you. Praise provokes God’s divine visitation and intervention. When you make praising God your priority,  He will cause you to begin to truly break forth on every side. 
Today, as we passionately offer God our highest praises, surely, He will cause us to ride upon our high places.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You today for the grace to hold my peace, and give You worthy praise while You fight my battles. Thank You, Lord for indeed perfecting all that concerns me in Jesus Name.
