And the sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left …And He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

Actually, our favorite part of this story is when the Red Sea closed up and the Egyptians who were trying to capture the Israelites were killed. But our next favorite part is when the Egyptians realized that it didn’t do any good to pray to the god of the sea. They died because they did not have faith in the creator God, and the Israelites lived because they were God’s people and they believed. Just like Abraham.

DEAR GOD, THANK YOU FOR THESE CHILDREN AND FOR THEIR QUESTIONING MINDS AND FOR THEIR ACCEPTING HEARTS. BE WITH US AS THEY CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE US. AMEN.
