The path is different but the value is the same


NLT Exodus 14

Vs 10  As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the LORD, 

11 and they said to Moses, “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt? 

12 Didn't we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said, ‘Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’”

13But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. 

14The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”


15Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!


Take Away vs 13

“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. 

TAKE AWAY 

vs 14 stay calm vs 15 keep moving

NLT Joshua 3 


Vs 2 Three days later the Israelite officers went through the camp,

 3 giving these instructions to the people: “When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, move out from your positions and follow them. 

4 Since you have never traveled this way before, they will guide you. Stay about half a mile behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark. Make sure you don’t come any closer.”


5Then Joshua told the people, “Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do great wonders among you.”


6 In the morning Joshua said to the priests, “Lift up the Ark of the Covenant and lead the people across the river.” And so they started out and went ahead of the people


TAKE AWAY vs 5

“Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do great wonders among you.”


NLT 1 John 1: 8-9 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
