Exodus 14-16

Ok guys! It's that guest writer from a few weeks ago you all loved! (Well i hope you loved :) ) So I'm back again and thankfully i have an easy story today that most everyone knows! Okay so lets get started!

Remember if you want to read this story in detail you can always read it to the side
<----------------------------- riiiiiiight there or at www.bible.com

Alright so after all of the plagues the Lord told Moses that he would harden the Pharaohs heart and he would search after them. God said he had planed this so he could do a great act to make all of the Egyptians would know that he is the Lord. So when Moses lead them away the Pharaoh sent about 600 troops (Egyptians) with him. When the Israelites saw them getting near they blamed Moses. They said it was his fault they would be killed and they should have stayed in Egypt. Moses just told them to trust in the Lord.

The Lord said to Moses he would make a pillar of cloud for them to follow during the day and a pillar of fire that stopped the Egyptians from approaching them. When they came upon the Red Sea the Lord told Moses to raise his staff and the waters parted! This was the that great act that God had planned to show everyone! So the Israelites walked down the middle of the Sea with the walls of Red Sea on each side. I personally tis this is awesome. I mean imagine! Fish and all of the Sea animals swimming along with you!

So the Pharaoh chases after them but the Lord twist their wheels and makes it hard to move. He waits until all of his people are out of the Sea then he closes the wall. Finally! The Israelites were free!

They cheered and jumped for joy! The celebrated the Lord and basically had a big party!

The end to these chapters are about the Israelites running about water and crying out. The Lord told Moses that if they praised him (God) then they would get what they needed for he was a healer.

I think the message here is to believe in the Lord and he will help us through life and live it the way he has it planed out for us! I think he puts those 'Pharaohs' in our lives so we can learn to deal with them the way God wants us to. Not by being mean or aggressive but the way he wants us to.
Remember!

Live life to the fullest and don't let the 'Pharaohs' bring you down from living your life for God!

That's all the time i have today! Thanks so much for reading! Have a amazing day! Go in Peace!!!

Live & Laugh & Love 4 God

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
