Preparing the Way
Exodus 23: 20-33 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.” As a kid, mom and dad said to get in the car we are going on trip. We obeyed and we set off. Most of the time I

Thundering to a Whisper
Exodus 20:18-21 “When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear.

The Shovel
Exodus 18:13-14 “The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while

Rephidim
Exodus 17:1 “The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.” I can remember when the kids were young and we had chosen to go on a long trip in

Hemmed In

The Long Way
Exodus 13:17 “…God did not lead them on the road to through the Philistine county, though it was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” As a passenger in a car, you are not the driver. Sounds kind of simple. You don’t get to choose

The Ten Plagues
Exodus 7:14-11:10 https://www.gotquestions.org/ten-plagues-Egypt.html I love watching the History Channel.
