"Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).
That means don't worry about Egypt. Egypt could be anyone, anything, or any place that has held you back or is trying to hold you back. The Lord your God (if He's your God, that is) is saying, fear not, I'm going to free you from that pesky, loathsome, evil Egypt. If that place is trying to stop your flow, I'm going to release the hold it's trying to put on you. I'm going to free you from that bond that is trying to stick to you, by that worthless place, because I have a land that is flowing with the greatness I've told you about; the place you've dreamed about; the people you've imagined, and the things you've had in your heart for a very long time. Yes, I'm going to give you a vast land flowing flowing flowing with much milk that will be nourishing to your body and abundant honey, which will be great for your soul. Oh yes you're in there. All that misery, pain, and bondage are now over. I am parting the Red Sea for you and there is nothing anybody can do to catch you. No need to even attempt to look back, because you will never see them again and they will never see you either. Your peace, your blessed dwelling place, and you time of harvest has finally come. I am the Lord God who has made it so for you.
Thus, the Lord wants us to remember that and to remember Him also.
