how does the new testament echo this theme of divine intervention in seemingly impossible situations?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Exodus 14:13-14

“Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again. Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.””

This passage is part of the Exodus narrative, where the Israelites have just left slavery in Egypt and are trapped between Pharaoh's pursuing army and the Red Sea. Moses speaks to a terrified people, reassuring them of God's direct intervention.

What does 'stand still' mean for us today when facing seemingly impossible obstacles?
