The opening of the red sea

"Bethany saw everyone’s heads turn to look behind them, and she tried to peek past the people to see what was going on. As she looked, she saw the flash of the Egyptian army’s armour reflecting in the sun’s bright rays. Bethany remembered how those soldiers had whipped and beaten her parents when they lived in Egypt. Fear rose up inside her.

“Moses, is this what you had in mind?” a man’s voice yelled from somewhere in the crowd. “Did you really lead us out here into the desert to die?” There was a chorus of angry shouts, and Bethany shuddered.

Bethany was scared, but she was upset that the man was angry at Moses, because she liked Moses. She remembered how he was always kind to her whenever he came to visit her family back in Egypt.

“What are we going to do?” Bethany asked her father.

Father knelt down to Bethany’s height and put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.

“Now Bethany, even though everyone else is blaming Moses for what is happening, we are going to pray. Because God knows what’s happening and He will help us.”

Mother knelt down as well, and they all took each other’s hands and closed their eyes.

“Dear Lord, we know that you are still with us. Please help us now, and deliver us from these Egyptians we pray, amen.”

“Amen,” Bethany and Mother echoed.

They stood up and then heard Moses speaking. Everyone became silent as they listened...."
