Crossing the Red Sea (God Makes a Way)
📖 Bible Verse
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
🕊️ Story / Reflection
God’s people were finally leaving Egypt after many years of slavery. But soon they found themselves trapped. In front of them was the Red Sea.
Behind them was Pharaoh’s army coming closer.
The people became afraid and wondered what they would do.
But God already had a plan. God told Moses to stretch out his staff over the sea. Then something amazing happened — the waters parted, and a dry path appeared through the middle of the sea!
God made a way where there seemed to be no way.
The Israelites walked safely across, and God protected them.
Sometimes we also face situations that seem impossible or frightening. We may not know what to do.
But this story reminds us that God is powerful, faithful, and able to make a way for us, too.
💡 Lesson
God can make a way, even when things seem impossible.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Thank You for always helping and guiding me.
When I feel stuck or afraid, help me trust that You can make a way.
Thank You for being powerful and faithful.
Amen.
