December 9 Introduction The Israelites reach the Red Sea and are pursued by the Egyptian king and his army. The LORD promises to save the people. Scripture Reading Exodus 14:1-18 Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 14:13a, 14a Moses answered, “Don’t be afraid! Stand your ground, and you will see what the LORD will do to save you today. . . .The LORD will fight for you.” Reflect Why was the king of Egypt upset after the Israelites had escaped? Describe what the Israelites were feeling when they saw the Egyptian army pursuing them. What did they say to Moses? What was Moses’s response? What assurance did the LORD give to Moses? Pray God of miracles and wonders, calm my fears and relieve me of any worries and anxieties. You are always by my side, and you are victorious. I place myself in your loving hands, and I praise and glorify you. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading Exodus 14:19-31: The LORD divides the waters of the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to cross over on dry ground.
