Moses page 26 by ric gustafson


" They are coming" screamed a man as he ran past Moses. " Pharaoh and his chariots are about here".
A woman yelled at Moses. " Why did you lead us out to this place to die?".
Moses stepped onto a large rock and spoke in a loud voice. " The Lord will fight for you and deliver you from the Egyptians". He closed his eyes to pray. " O God, deliver your people".
The voice answered. " Raise your staff and the Sea will divide".
Terrified people ran past Moses.
" Take the people to the other side on dry ground and I will take care of the Egyptians".
Moses raised his staff and the water parted just as God promised. " Children of the Heavenly Lord, let us go through the middle of the Sea".
People started walking reluctantly over the now dry ground and saw the wall of water on each side. When the people had reached half way across, Moses noticed that Pharaoh's chariots had reached the entrance to the Sea.
" Hurry, let us get to the other side".
Pharaoh, who was in the lead chariot, pointed to the dry ground. " Let's go through the dry ground and reclaim the slaves that were ours".
A man pointed into the distance. " Moses, Pharaoh and his chariots are about upon us".
The people reached the other side safely.
Moses watched as Pharaoh and his chariots reached the half way point. He heard God's voice. " It is time".
Moses raised his staff and the Sea closed up.
Pharaoh and all of his chariots and men drowned.
