Exodus 5 · Grade 4

When Obeying Gets Hard

Name Date

Read and Think

Moses obeyed God, but things got worse instead of better. Pharaoh proudly said he didn't know Yahweh. Over the next chapters, God would show Pharaoh exactly who He is.

The people suffered more, and they blamed Moses. Sometimes when we do what is right, life gets harder for a while. That doesn't mean God has stopped caring.

Moses was honest with God about his confusion. He brought his questions directly to God. Prayer is the right place to bring our disappointments.
