SHOW NOTES: We’ve heard the story of Noah and the ark in Sunday School ever since we were young. We “know” this story. However, we looked more closely at God’s response to the wickedness of man on the earth. He said, “I am sorry that I have made them. I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh.” Yet, God had a redemptive plan for Noah and his family.

SHOW NOTES: Deuteronomy 11:10-14 sets the stage for this week’s lesson. “The land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven … the eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it.”

The importance of water in the land of Israel cannot be overstated.

There was conflict between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. Abram graciously told Lot to choose where he would take his family and livestock to live. Lot chose the well-watered, green, and lush Jordan Valley. But, God had another conversation with Abram. God’s promise is everlasting … this land is given to Abram’s descendants … forever. God says to Abram in Genesis 13:17 – “Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

SCRIPTURE: Genesis 26:18-33

SHOW NOTES: “There was a famine in the land.” People through the years dread hearing those words. God specifically instructs Isaac, “Do not go down to Egypt, stay in the land, I will be with you and bless you.” His herdsmen dug several wells but they experienced strife with those living in the area. Isaac continued to relocate his flocks and family until they dug a well at Rehoboth. Then, Isaac journeyed to Beersheba. God appeared to Isaac and confirmed His promise to him, “Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you.” Immediately, Isaac builds an altar and worships God. His servants dug another well and told Isaac, “We have found water.”

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 42

SHOW NOTES: The author of Psalm 42 cries out to the Lord, “I thirst for the living God.” In our thirst for God and our desire to know Him and to walk more closely with Him, we should sing for joy and give thanks to Him. Life brings about times of discouragement, sadness, and despair. The Psalmist says he feels like life is tossing him around, rushing over him, and pushing him down. “Yet, through the night I will sing His songs, I will pray to God who gives me life.” We choose to put our hope in God and to wait expectantly for Him. God will extend His faithful love to us in every situation we face in this life. He is my Help and my Savior.

SCRIPTURE: Exodus 1–2 / Psalm 18:1-3 / Hebrews 11:23-25

SHOW NOTES: God had a specific plan and purpose for the life of Moses. In Psalm 106:23 Moses is called, “His chosen one.” Pharoah and the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied.

A beautiful baby boy was born to a Levite couple and his mother set him in a floating basket on the Nile River. In God’s timing and providence, Pharoah’s daughter came to the river and found the baby. She drew him “out of the water” and named him, Moses. We often forget the hardships and struggles the people of Israel faced in Egypt for over 80 years – we quickly read past the decades of affliction and burden.

But God … He protected the life of His chosen one and prepared him for the task ahead. The people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue came up to God. Verses 24 and 25 in Exodus 2 offer great hope for us today. God heard, He remembered, He saw, He knew exactly what was happening in the lives of the people of Israel.
