Today we continued learning about Moses. After Moses and Eleazar returned from the mountain with out Aaron they returned to the people. They were sad and had mourned for 39 days. Eleazar ad become the spiritual leader (Pastor) of the people in his fathers place. Soon after that poisonous snakes entered the Israelite camp. Many even died from the snakebites. The people cried to Moses to pray to God to take the snakes away. God still loved the people in spite of their sin and heard Moses' prayers. God had a plan to take the snakes away and cure them from the deadly snakebites. God told Moses to "make a snake out of bronze and put it on a pole in the desert" He said. "Those who've been bitten should look at the bronze snake and they will live."
It may have seemed too easy to some, but it was God's only way for them to be cured and live. They had to admit their sin and choose to believe God by looking at the bronze snake lifted up on the pole. Then they could be healed. After the people were cured of their snakebites, they continued their journey. The praised God by sining songs of praise.
The Word Up! is:
God gives me victory!
The memory verse is:
John 3:17 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
