Crossing the Red Sea

God sent Moses to be the Israelites leader. Moses led the Israelites through the desert. King Pharaoh and his army chased after the Israelites. Moses and his people came to the Red Sea. They had no boats and they could not swim across the sea. Moses told the Israelites to not be afraid because God would help them. And that is just what happened! God told Moses to raise his staff over the sea. With a big wind, God parted the sea leaving a dry path for the Israelites. The Israelites were able to cross the sea safely. Pharaoh and his army were not able to cross the sea because God told Moses to raise his staff up again and when he did the waters closed up. God kept the Israelites safe.

This week, share with your child, a time that you were afraid and how God kept you safe. We can teach our children that they can count on God when they are afraid. God will use other people to keep them safe like mom, dad, teachers, coaches, etc.

Our verse for the week: Psalm 105:1 Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him.
