We often think of Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan. In fact, the Bible is very clear that God was leading them. The Israelites saw this by God’s special cloud stopped when it was time to camp and moved forward when it was time to go. It was shade during the hot days and a pillar of fire during the cold, very dark nights.
You would think with all the evidence of God’s power and sovereignty in Egypt and such an ever-present sign of God’s leading that they would completely trust in God and have no fear or worries. But that just isn’t usually true of us humans. Let’s put FAITH over fear.
God gave the Israelites yet another reason to trust Him. This is what God does. He presents us with opportunities of fear or faith. He led them to a place where they could not run away. They were hemmed in by cliffs on the side, a canyon behind them with the Egyptian army bearing down on them, and in front was the impassable Red Sea. When life looks impossible and impassable, that is where God want to show us His power. With Him all things are possible.
Interactive PowerPoint Presentation
In this presentation, the kids will get to make a craft and act out the story of the dramatic escape through the Red Sea. The Israelite’s were in a pickle; a God-designed pickle. How would they escape the Egyptians when they were stuck between mountains and the gigantic Red Sea? When we are in a pickle, we too can be calm, pray, and know that God will make a way. He will fight for us. He will lead us. He will always be with us!
