Why?!?

When tragedy strikes, this is the question we turn heavenward to ask, "Why, God?!?"

While Jordan focused on what it would have been like to be any given Egyptian on the street, I was thinking what it would have been like to be a God follower, "Why can't we be free, God? Why is this taking so long and inflicting so much pain on those around us?"

Here is the answer God gives Moses: "I've made Pharaoh stubborn, so that I can force him to look at these signs and so you'll be able to tell your children and grandchildren the stories of the signs that I brought down on them, so that you'll all know that I am God."

The reason for the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea? So that we can pass this faith on to our children. Have you been telling little ones and teens the stories of how awesome and powerful God has been in your life?

Be still and know that he is God...and then tell the story.
