TOPIC: WHY WORRY?
Memory verse:-"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi
Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite
Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in
confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will
pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the
Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.
When the king of Egypt
changed their minds about them and said, "What have we done? We have let the
Israelites go and have lost their services!” So he had his chariot made ready and took
his army with him. He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other
chariots of Egypt
Pharaoh king of Egypt
boldly. The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—
pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth,
opposite Baal Zephon. As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there
were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord.
They said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt
us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt
we say to you in Egypt
been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
Before the king Pharaoh and his army decided to pursue the Israelites God foresaw his innermost-thought and revealed to the prophet Moses. Besides, He gave measures for the safety of His children yet the Israelites were not comfortable. They were scared of the appearance of the Egyptians and wisely cried up to God yet they were groaning. That showed their doubt or unstable faith in God’s deliverance. Faith and doubt amount to nothing, when we cast our burdens unto the Lord we ought to take out any form of doubt and worry from within us, knowing that it is done in faith.
Prayer-pray for God’s delivering hands upon your life
pray that the Lord will always let you stand tall in all things
What to meditate on:
We are Christians but that does not take away the fact that we are still mere mortals so why not worry (reason from the bible)?
