Exodus 14 · Grade 4
The Lord Fights for Us
Read and Think
God's people faced the sea in front and the army behind. They felt trapped. They forgot all God had just done and complained in fear.
Moses gave them three commands: Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh Then God added, Go forward. Faith means trusting God and obeying, even when we can't see how He will help.
God did what no one else could do. He made a path through the sea. The same waters that saved Israel brought judgment on Egypt. Israel's fear turned into faith and worship.
