Moses and the Israelites, as retold by Joel


Moses was a guy who didn't talk very well. The Israelites were slaves.
Moses asked Pharoh, "Let my people go," but Pharoh said, No!" very loudly.
Moses said, "Let my people go," lots of times, and Pharoh said, "No, no, no, no," lots of times.

Finally, he let them go, but then he changed his mind and wanted the Israelites for his slaves again. And then he got his army.

Then the Israelites, they saw the army coming, and then they saw the red sea, and when Moses put his hand over it, it opened -- the sea opened, and gapped apart. They went through, then it closed, and the army sunk. So, the Israelites were safe.

M: "Wow! God is in charge of everything, isn't he!?"
J: God is in charge of everything. For real, He is.

"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD."
Psalm 139:1-6 (NIV)
