Maybe this has been one of those weeks for you.
You know, a week that showed up carrying a conflict with your spouse or friend. An unexpected budget-busting bill. A nagging cough, sputtering car engine, maybe a misplaced pair of glasses.
Or perhaps you hit the jackpot and absolutely everything that could go wrong did go wrong … twice.
However tough your week, it probably pales compared to what Moses found in his week: the Red Sea at his back and an Egyptian army thundering at him from the front. Worse, he was surrounded by people screaming for him to do something.
Read Exodus 14.
The good news for Moses is the same good news we have for you: God rescues His people. Maybe not on their timeline, and maybe not in the way they expect, but He never fails to come through.
That broken tooth (thank you, peanut brittle) doesn’t lessen His love for you. The exploding microwave? You won’t be warming up leftover lasagna anytime soon, but there’s still a spot for you in heaven.
In all the most important ways, you can stand with Moses, who looked at oncoming chariots and said this to his people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm. You will see how the Lord will save you today” (Exodus 14:13).
As you prepare this lesson for your kids, remember to ask the Holy Spirit to let its truth sink deeply into your heart too.
The Lord rescues those who stand with Him. Including you.
