Week 3 pt. 2

What Sally Lloyd-Jones' "The Jesus Storybook Bible" actually says:
"What were God's people going to do? In front of them was a big sea. It was so big there was no way around it. But there was no way through it--it was too deep. They didn't have any boats so they couldn't sail across. And they couldn't turn back because Pharaoh was chasing them. They could see the flashing swords now, glinting in the baking sun, and the dust clouds and chariot after scary chariot surging towards them. So they did the only thing there was left to do-- PANIC!
'We're going to die!' they shrieked.
'Don't be afraid!' Moses said.
'But there's nothing we can do!' they screamed.
'God knows you can't do anything!' Moses said. 'God will do it for you. Trust him. And watch!'
'But there's no way out!' they cried.
'God will make a way!' Moses said.
Another minute and it would have been over. But then the strangest thing happened...." then the Red Sea parts and you know the rest.

Wasn't that EPIC?! God knows you have absolutely no way to get through x, y, z and it seems like you are going to be crushed/destroyed but if you just wait and trust God He WILL make a way... ahhh. (The story of the Red Sea out of Exodus is ammmmmazing straight from the Bible Bible but the simplicity of her words cuts to the core so I love it.)

another cool one about how Jesus is foreshadowed in Abraham being willing to sacrifice Isaac:
"God was getting ready to give the whole world a wonderful present (my input: Jesus). It would be God's way to tell his people, 'I love you.'
Many years later, another Son would climb another hill, carrying wood on his back. Like Isaac, he would trust his Father and do what his Father asked. He wouldn't struggle or run away.
Who was he? God's Son, his only Son--the Son he loved.
The Lamb of God."
