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,...

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's...

Jeremiah 25-27 Read these now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at www.bible.com . JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! It's a cheesy line. But it's simple, and true, and completely supported by the devotion today. The reading we read was about a choice God was giving to His people-- they could listen to Him or they couldn't... and most of them chose not to. But it makes me wonder... if we're given an ultimatum, and we chose the wrong thing, is it right if we're punished? For instance, I tell my sister that she can hit me, or not hit me. But if she DOES, I'll steal all her money. She chooses herself to hit me, so I steal all her money. Does that seem unfair? She knew what would happen to her if she chose wrong. So really, I think that it's her fault. Does that make sense? This isn't a real situation, by the way :) God told the people they could listen or not listen, and when they didn't... there would be consequences. God is a God of justice, and...
