To Remember: Sometimes we have to leave a problem
totally up to God.
Vocabulary
Pharaoh: an Egyptian King
Lesson - Exodus 2
Discussion: (older students) In order to save
Moses, Jochebed had to let him go. She had to literally let him leave, with no
control over what would happen to him. She could only send Miriam to watch and
see what God would do. Sometimes we are in similar situations. There are many
problems in life that are out of our control. We have to "let go and let God"
work out the situation. It's easy to ask God to take care of something, but it
can be very difficult to "let go." Discuss a time when you have or might have to
"let go" of a situation for God to work on it. (e.g. we can not control other
people. Nagging and complaining usually makes the situation worse. We have to
"let go" of what we want the other person to do, and simply obey God's will for
us. God will use our obedience to work on that person's conscience.)
