The children of Israel are headed out of Egypt; but Pharaoh still believes he can pursue, overtake and force them to return to Egypt as his slaves. The people panic, believing that God can deliver them from the country but not from the leader. Moses' advice is to "Not fear. Stand still and see God's deliverance." God's command is slightly different "Move forward and I will deliver you."
Yes there are times we need to stand and watch God deliver. Other times, God's command to proceed is to be followed in spite of the dangers seemingly involved in forward progress.
Israel is delivered; and the nation rejoices by composing a song in commemoration of the event. God is good!
