THE SECOND BOOK OF MOSES
Lesson 6: Through the Red Sea

---

6.6 Summary
From Doubt to Trust

---

Introduction

In this lesson, we witness how God leads His people through a turning point in history: from slavery to freedom. But the path is not easy. Doubt, fear, and uncertainty accompany Israel — and yet: God remains faithful.
The exodus from Egypt, the consecration of the firstborn, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the song of victory all reveal: Where faith is lacking, God shows His strength.

……………………………..      ……………………………..

Bible Study – Overview of the Lesson

6.1 Go and serve the LORD – When understanding is not repentance

Pharaoh acknowledges God’s power, but without genuine repentance. Releasing Israel is not a true act of surrender but a forced capitulation.
In contrast, the Israelites experience God’s blessing: they do not leave empty-handed but richly provided for — a sign of divine justice.
Lesson: True repentance does not come from fear, but from insight.

6.2 Consecration of the firstborn – Redeemed for a life with God

God reminds Israel: Everything belongs to Him — even life itself. The firstborn are redeemed through sacrifice. This consecration is a response to salvation — a reaction of gratitude and obedience.
Lesson: To be redeemed means to dedicate your life to God — in practical terms.

6.3 Crossing the Red Sea – When faith is tested

God doesn’t lead the people on the easiest path, but on the right one. Despite fear, He acts powerfully. The sea opens, and the way to freedom becomes visible.
Lesson: Faith grows when we walk in God’s ways — even when they seem impossible.

6.4 Moving forward in faith – Trust despite fear

God acts — despite Israel’s doubt. Moses becomes an instrument of faith: he steps forward before the sea parts.
Lesson: Faith is not a feeling — it is obedience rooted in trust in God’s Word.

6.5 The song of Moses and Miriam – Praise after the victory

Victory leads to song. It’s not about personal achievement, but about God’s character. Worship becomes a response to experienced deliverance.
Lesson: True worship comes from encountering God’s power and grace.

……………………………..      ……………………………..

Spiritual Principles

• Repentance without transformation is not real repentance — Pharaoh shows how dangerous self-deception can be.

• Salvation requires a response — God acts, we respond with devotion.

• Faith reveals itself in action — even when we see nothing.

• God’s guidance is reliable — even if it doesn’t follow our logic.

• Worship is more than music — it is the expression of a heart that has encountered God.

……………………………..      ……………………………..

Practical Life Application

Ask yourself:

• Do I act like Pharaoh — calculating, controlling, without a heart change?

• Where is God calling me to surrender, like in the consecration of the firstborn?

• Is there a “Red Sea” in my life that can only be crossed through faith?

• Do I live a life of worship — even outside of church — as a response to God’s work?

Put it into action:

• Write a personal memory of a time when God “opened a path” for you.

• Express your gratitude in a prayer or a song.

• Take one step of trust in a current challenge — even without certainty.

……………………………..      ……………………………..

Conclusion

God’s ways lead from doubt to trust — not because we are strong, but because He is faithful. This lesson teaches us:

• God’s grace saves,

• Faith responds,

• Worship lifts up,

• And the way becomes visible when we move forward.

……………………………..      ……………………………..

Thought of the Day

“God doesn’t ask for perfect faith — only the courage to follow Him.”
The sea doesn’t part beforehand. It parts when you take the first step.

Chapter 1 – Chicago, Wind and Concrete

The skyscrapers reached into the sky — cold and merciless. The city noise no longer fazed Alex. He had lived here for ten years, working as a corporate consultant for one of the major players in downtown Chicago. Suits, deadlines, business trips — that was his world.

God? Yes, somewhere still in his heart. He had gone to church as a child, used to pray — but over time, life had shifted the priorities.

His wife Naomi was different. A teacher — calmer, gentler, more spiritual. She prayed regularly. Alex loved her, even if he politely ignored most of her “spiritual talk.”

Until that Tuesday morning in January.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 2 – Diagnosis

Naomi had ignored her pain for weeks. “Just tension,” she said. But now she sat there — pale, trembling, with an envelope in her hand.

“It’s cancer. Advanced.”

Alex stared at her. He couldn’t speak. Everything was suddenly… silent. No more noise. No more Chicago. Just that one sentence.

The following weeks were a blur of clinic appointments, treatment plans, and prognosis reports. And fear. The quiet, gnawing fear that kept Alex awake at night.

He looked for something to hold on to. But he found nothing strong enough.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 3 – The Escape Route

He kept working — more than ever. He traveled, wrote reports, presented figures. Naomi lost weight. Alex lost his inner balance.

God felt far away. Or rather: Alex was far away.

He couldn’t pray. Not honestly. Not with trust. Instead, he asked himself:

“If there’s a God — why this?”

Naomi kept praying. Still. She didn’t ask “Why?” — she asked “What for, Lord?”
That made Alex angry — and at the same time, it shamed him.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 4 – The Wall

One evening, Naomi collapsed while cooking. Alex rushed her to the ER. A doctor, almost casually, said:

“We need to consider whether continuing treatment is viable. Your wife has very little strength left.”

It felt like a wall rising up in front of Alex. An insurmountable obstacle.
Like the Red Sea.

He couldn’t go on. And just then, in that moment when he could no longer control anything, he remembered an old saying his grandmother often used:

“God doesn’t wait until you’re strong. He waits until you move — in faith.”

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 5 – The Step

That night, in the hospital’s guest room, Alex prayed. For the first time in years — honestly, raw, full of tears.

“Lord, I don’t know what’s next. I’ve forgotten you. But I need you. If you’re still there — show me the way. I’ll walk it.”

The next morning, nothing outward had changed. But something inside had.

Alex began spending every day at the hospital. He read the Bible to Naomi — at first just for her sake. But soon, every verse spoke to him, too. He prayed. He believed — hesitantly, then more confidently.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 6 – The Song

Naomi kept fighting. But she never lost her peace. Sometimes, she softly sang old songs from her youth.
One day, she asked Alex:

“Do you know what Moses and Miriam did after God parted the sea?”

“What?” he asked.

“They sang. Not because it was all over — but because God had already won.”

In that moment, Alex understood:
The path hadn’t suddenly opened.
But he had started walking.
And the miracle had begun — in him.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 7 – A Different Life

Six months later. Naomi was weak, but stable. The treatment was working. Small improvements. Big hope.

Alex quit his job. He began training as a hospital chaplain. He wanted to walk with others who faced walls of their own.

“I’ve learned,” he once said in a small church,
“that God doesn’t part the sea right away. But if you trust Him — if you step out in faith — He does. Always. Maybe not outwardly, but inwardly. And that’s where real salvation begins.”

---

Reflections on the Story

• Trust doesn’t begin when everything is clear — but when you take the first step.

• God’s miracles aren’t always external, but they transform our hearts.

• Anyone can face a “Red Sea” — but no one has to cross it alone.

Leviticus 24 – The Feasts of the Lord – Signs of Divine Fellowship
God’s Instructions for Light, Bread, and Dealing with Guilt

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Bible Text – Leviticus 24 (KJV)

¹ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

³ Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

⁴ He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

⁵ And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

⁶ And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.

⁷ And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

⁸ Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

⁹ And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.

¹⁰ And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

¹¹ And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

¹² And they put him in ward, that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them.

¹³ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁴ Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

¹⁵ And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

¹⁷ And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸ And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

¹⁹ And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

²⁰ Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

²¹ And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

²² Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.

²³ And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Introduction

Leviticus 24 is a chapter marked by a striking thematic tension: it begins with sacred rituals (oil, lampstand, showbread) – outward signs of God’s presence and provision – and ends with clear legal instructions about the punishment for blasphemy, manslaughter, and bodily harm.

What does light have to do with judgment? What do loaves of bread have to do with justice? And what does all of this teach us about God’s character?

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Commentary

1. God’s Light – Constant and Pure (Verses 1–4)

The pure oil for the lamps symbolizes God’s continual presence.
Aaron’s daily tending of the lamps shows: God’s light needs ongoing attention – it’s a picture of our spiritual life.
It reminds us: light comes from God – and it should burn without ceasing.

---

2. The Bread of the Covenant – Provision and Fellowship (Verses 5–9)

Twelve loaves – for the twelve tribes – are placed before the Lord.
It’s a sign: God sees His people. He provides for them – regularly (every Sabbath), in holiness and grace.
The priests were allowed to eat this bread – in a holy place – a symbol of spiritual nourishment that comes from God’s presence.

---

3. God’s Name is Holy (Verses 10–16)

A man blasphemes the name of the LORD – and is held accountable.
The whole community is involved – not out of hate, but out of reverence for the Holy Name.
God’s identity is not a game – blasphemy is a conscious rebellion against His holiness.

---

4. God’s Justice is Clear (Verses 17–22)

Whoever kills must pay with his life.
Whoever injures must be repaid in proportion: eye for eye, tooth for tooth.
This is not about revenge, but about balanced, just recompense.
Even the foreigner is subject to the same rules – God’s justice is universal.

---

5. Obedience – The People Act According to God’s Word (Verse 23)

Moses passes on God’s command – the people obey.
It is a harsh, but necessary judgment – holiness is non-negotiable.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Summary

God gives clear instructions on how His holiness is to be preserved – in worship (light, bread), in daily life (speech, actions), and in the justice system.
The chapter reveals a balance between holy worship and righteous order.
Holiness, community, and responsibility flow through the entire chapter.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Message for Us Today

God’s light should burn continually – also within us (see Matthew 5:14–16). Our life of faith requires care, purity, and perseverance.
The bread is a symbol of Jesus’ body – we live by Him. Our spiritual nourishment comes through fellowship with God.
God’s name is holy – reverence for His nature should impact our speech, thoughts, and actions.
Justice and proportionality are divine principles – they apply to all people, without favoritism.
Obedience to God’s Word is a mark of true reverence for Him.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Reflection Questions

Is my faith a steady light – or does it flicker from time to time?
Where do I allow indifference to replace reverence for God’s holiness?
Do I live from the daily “bread” of His presence – or do I feed myself spiritually too rarely?

Ellen White | Patriarchs and Prophets – Chapter 21
Joseph and His Brothers

---

Read online here

---

Introduction

The life story of Joseph is a powerful testimony of how God uses human evil to bring about good. Betrayed, sold, slandered, and forgotten—yet exalted, used, and blessed. In his reunion with his brothers, forgiveness, character growth, and divine providence reach a moving climax in biblical history.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Commentary

1. Foresight and Responsibility (Genesis 41)

Joseph uses his God-given gift of dream interpretation to prepare Egypt for a coming famine. Despite his rise to power, he remains humble: “God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

---

2. Famine Strikes Canaan (Genesis 42)

The brothers travel to Egypt, unaware they are standing before Joseph. He recognizes them—they do not recognize him. Joseph tests them, not for revenge, but to reveal the change in their hearts.

God uses trials to uncover what lies deep within us.

---

3. Repentance, Responsibility, and Change (Genesis 43–44)

The once hard-hearted brothers show depth of character: Judah offers himself in place of Benjamin. One of the most moving moments in Scripture—proof of genuine transformation.

---

4. Reconciliation and God’s Plan (Genesis 45)

Joseph reveals his identity: “I am Joseph!” He sees God’s hand in all that has happened. No bitterness—only healing.

Forgiveness is not weakness; it is the greatest evidence of divine love.

---

5. Jacob Moves to Egypt (Genesis 46–47)

God Himself confirms Jacob’s journey. In Goshen, the people of Israel are preserved, set apart, and provided for—a place of preparation.

---

6. Blessings and Prophetic Words (Genesis 48–49)

Jacob blesses his sons—prophetically, wisely, justly. Judah receives the messianic promise, Joseph the double portion.

---

7. The Death of Joseph – and a Look Ahead (Genesis 50)

Joseph dies, but his hope lives on: “God will surely visit you.”
He knows Egypt is not the homeland. The exodus will come.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Summary

Joseph’s story is a bridge from Canaan to Egypt—and ultimately a picture of redemption.

It shows how God brings His plan to fulfillment, even through human failure.

It is full of transformation, reconciliation, and trust in divine providence.

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Message for Us Today

God is sovereign, even when people act unjustly.

Reconciliation heals generational wounds. Joseph could have sought revenge but chose forgiveness.

Your story does not end in pain. God continues to write—with hope, comfort, and a greater perspective.

True greatness is revealed in humility. Joseph remained a servant—even as a ruler.

Trials reveal your character. The brothers passed the test. What trials are shaping you today?

══════════════════════════════════════════════

Reflection Question

• Have you ever experienced injustice that God later turned into something good?

• Is there someone you need to forgive—not because they deserve it, but because God is calling you to freedom?

• Do you live with the awareness that you are a “stranger” in this world, on a journey toward your true home?

• What role does God’s providence play in how you view suffering, success, and the way you live your life?

Talk to God:
“Lord, I don’t always understand Your way—but I trust Your plan.”

Joseph – Faith That Endures
Devotions from the life of a dreamer with character

---

14.God Works in the Dark
When everything is silent – yet something happens

---

Introduction

There are times when God seems silent. No ray of light, no answer, no sign. We ask: Where is God? Has He forgotten me? Yet precisely in those moments when we see the least, He is often at work the most.

Joseph sat in prison – seemingly abandoned and forgotten. But while he waited, God was already preparing the turning point. God was working – in secret, in silence, in the dark.

────────────────────────────────

Devotional

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall be silent.”
Exodus 14:14

Darkness often feels like the end. No light, no direction, no clarity. Everything in us screams for action, for answers, for a way out. But sometimes God doesn’t say, “Do something,” but rather, “Be still. I am acting.”

For Joseph, prison was not a temporary pause but a long season of uncertainty. No plan, no perspective, no call from the palace. And yet – it was in that very darkness that God wrote history. Not visibly, but effectively. Not loudly, but purposefully. Unseen – but not inactive.

This is a biblical principle:
God does not only work when the curtain rises – but behind the scenes.

In Exodus 14, the Israelites stood with their backs to the Red Sea and the Egyptian army approaching. All seemed lost. And yet God didn’t say: “Fight.” He said: “I will fight for you. You shall be still.”
To be still – while the danger approaches? That’s not giving up. It’s radical trust.

God’s silence is never indifference.
His waiting is never forgetfulness.
His darkness is never emptiness – but preparation.

Joseph couldn’t force Pharaoh’s dream. He couldn’t open a door. But he remained faithful. He served. He waited. And in that very waiting, his character was shaped. The years in secret made him ready for the task ahead. God doesn’t form leaders on stage – but in prison.

What grows in the dark develops deep roots.
What is shaped in silence often bears the richest fruit.

We live in a time that celebrates action, speed, and results. But God’s kingdom works differently. With Him, it’s not about how fast we see something – but how deeply we trust, even when we see nothing.

Remember the disciples when Jesus lay dead in the tomb? Three days of darkness. Hopelessness. And yet – in that very darkness, God performed the greatest miracle in history.
Resurrection doesn’t begin with light – but with a sealed tomb.

So remember:

• Don’t confuse God’s silence with His absence.

• Don’t lose trust in the fog.

• Don’t give up while waiting – God is still working.

And if you’re in a dark season today, remember:
God is already on the move. Maybe you don’t see it, but He is preparing something.
Maybe not what you expected – but exactly what you need.

“See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you and His glory appears over you.”
— Isaiah 60:2

────────────────────────────────

Reflection – What Does This Mean for You?

• Just because you don’t see God doesn’t mean He’s not there.

• Just because it’s quiet doesn’t mean He isn’t speaking.

• Just because you feel stuck doesn’t mean nothing is moving.

God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
And His timing is not our timing.

Waiting time is not wasted time. It’s preparation time.

────────────────────────────────

What We Can Learn from Joseph

• Patience in the dark means trust in the light.

• God does not forget us – even if people do.

• While we wait, we can stay faithful – that opens the door to God’s work.

• Our story doesn’t end in prison – but in God’s plan.

────────────────────────────────

Reflection – What Does This Mean for You?

• Is there an area in your life that feels “dark”?

• What helps you trust God in the silence?

• Can you remember a time when you only recognized God’s work in hindsight?

• Where could you be faithful today, even without seeing change?

Story – “A Light in the Night”

Chapter 1 – The Fall

Klara was 42, a teacher with heart and soul, married, two children. Her life was structured, full, and bursting with energy. But then, during a routine check-up, the diagnosis hit like a hammer: breast cancer – advanced.

“This can’t be,” she whispered at the time, as the doctor spoke with a grave expression. “I’m healthy… I have plans…”

That very day, the storm began: biopsies, conversations, decisions. Her long hair – cut off. Her full calendar – emptied. Her strength – broken.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 2 – The Darkness

The first chemotherapy sessions were brutal. Nausea, weakness, sleepless nights. Klara withdrew – from colleagues, from friends, even from God.

She could no longer pray. Everything felt empty.
“Where are you, Lord?” she wrote in her journal. “I can’t feel you. I can’t see you. I don’t understand you.”

Her faith, once a rock, now felt like sand slipping through her fingers. The church service on the screen flickered without depth. Her Bible remained closed. Her hope seemed lost.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 3 – The Letter

Three weeks later, she found a letter in her mailbox. Handwritten. No sender.

“You are seen. You are not alone. God is carrying you, even when you can’t feel Him.”

Klara set the letter aside – moved, but skeptical.
“Just words,” she murmured.
And yet: something kept her from throwing it away.

The following week, another arrived. This time with a Bible verse:

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley – you are with me.”
Psalm 23:4

Klara began keeping every letter. She read them at night – sometimes through tears, sometimes with a faint smile. Verses, prayers, little encouragements arrived. Always at the right time. Always like a whisper in the dark.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 4 – The Encounter

At the clinic, Klara met a young woman: Mia, in her early 30s, also battling cancer, full of fear and anger.

“I don’t know if I can do this,” Mia said softly one morning at breakfast. “I have no one. And God…? He’s silent anyway.”

Klara paused. Then she said:
“Sometimes He speaks through others. I’ve been getting letters for weeks. I don’t know who from. But they help me believe I’m not forgotten.”

Mia looked at her in surprise.
“You mean… you still believe?”
Klara nodded.
“Not always strongly. But yes. I hold on – even in the fog.”

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 5 – The Sender

Shortly before her final treatment, Klara happened to meet an older woman in the clinic hallway – Ruth, a former colleague, long since retired.

“I’ve had you on my heart often,” Ruth said gently. “I… wrote you sometimes. Just little thoughts. I didn’t know if you ever got them.”

Klara swallowed hard. Her eyes filled with tears.
“It was you?”
Ruth nodded and smiled warmly.
“I just wanted you to know: You are not alone.”

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 6 – The Realization

That evening, Klara prayed out loud for the first time again:

“Lord,
I thought You were silent.
But You spoke through Ruth.
I believed You didn’t see me –
but You wrote me letters.
Thank You.
I’m not healed – but I am held.”

She realized: God had never stopped working.
Not on a grand stage.
Not with lightning and thunder.
But in silence. In secret. In the dark.

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Chapter 7 – The Way Back

Months later, Klara sat once again in church – weak, but upright. When asked to share a testimony, she stood hesitantly.

“I’m not at the finish line yet,” she began.
“But I’ve learned: God’s greatest miracles often happen when we think nothing is happening at all.
He works – even when we see nothing.
And sometimes, the light comes – in the form of a handwritten letter.”

✦ ─────────────── ✦ ─────────────── ✦

Lessons from the Story

• God doesn’t need light to work – His power unfolds even in darkness.

• People can carry God’s hope without even realizing it.

• Silence doesn’t mean absence. Sometimes God speaks softer so we listen closer.

• The strongest steps of faith aren’t taken in the light – but by trusting through the night.

────────────────────────────────

Application

• Remember God’s faithfulness in past dark times.

• Speak a word of hope today to someone who is waiting.

• Trust that God is acting – even if you don’t see it yet.

────────────────────────────────

Prayer

Lord,
sometimes I see nothing – and doubt everything.
But You are faithful, even when I can’t feel You.
Help me trust You when everything feels dark.
Let me believe that You are working –
especially in the silence.
Give me patience, hope, and an open heart
for Your hidden ways.
Amen.

────────────────────────────────

Key Thought of the Day

God works in the dark – silently, hidden, but powerfully.

────────────────────────────────

Blessing to Close

The Lord, who did not forget Joseph in the pit,
be your light in your darkness.
May He strengthen your trust,
open your eyes to His quiet work,
and lead you from night into the light of His promise.
