Escape From Egypt

by Bradley Booth

The guards were shouting excitedly and suddenly the whole camp was in an uproar. It was like the world was coming to an end, and everybody knew it!

Children began running around in circles screaming. Men and boys rushed here and there with their ox goads and cutlasses, bumping into one another, knocking each other over in the sand. Oxen, goats, and donkeys reacted to the alarm and began to rush in every direction.

Meshach looked on in fear, not knowing what to expect next, but he needn't have worried. Somewhere in the confusion and noise of the moment a voice of strength called out to the people. It was the voice of Moses.

"He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High can abide safely in the shadow of the Great I Am!" Moses' voice boomed out. "Don't worry, my people! Jehovah is our refuge and fortress. In Him we must trust!"

Do you trust God even in bad times? Let this story of God's power and victory help you to always put your trust in Him
