What does this show me about God?
- God tells Moses to stop crying out and get moving. What does that say about the difference between praying and obeying?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- The people are so frightened they want to go back to being slaves. Why is fear such a bad guide?
What will I obey this week?
- What frightening thing will you take one step into this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who is panicking about something? What could you say?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, your people were terrified and you were not. Thank you that you were already working while they were still panicking. Help me be still and watch what you do.
