The children of Israel set out with their things,children and flocks with great joy to the promised land that God has promised to Abraham hundreds of years ago.At last they were free from the rude Egyptians who made them to work so hardly,but how to find the way to Cannan the promised land.There are no sign posts to show them the way all they could around them was desert.Then God said to Moses that he will lead the people safely to the promised land.Day time a pillar of cloud and night time a column of fire would be there ahead of them to show the way. When the cloud or the column of fire moved the people also moved when the cloud or the fire stopped the people also stopped and camped there, till the the cloud or the fire moves the children of Israel stopped their journey.
Mean while in the land of Egypt the king was having second thoughts he forgot what had happened to the land of Egypt and to his people , he forgot the mighty works god has done to rescue his people. The king was very sad that he had let the Israel people go and now his construction was stopped so he thought that he will drive them back to Egypt . He gave commands to make the chariots to be ready and gave instructions to his soldiers to get back the people of Israel .
The children of Israel camped near the sea of reads and when they looked out they saw the large multitude of horses coming towards them and a great panic came among the people , all the people went to Moses and started blaming Moses for all that happened , Moses was so sad then god spoke to Moses "Do not be afraid i am with you take your stick and hold over the water ", Moses did as he was told by God when Moses stretched the stick above the water a strong east wind began to blow and whipped the water to the banks and left a clean path to cross over . The children of Israel started marching forward . The waters stood like a wall both sides the people walked all night and crossed the sea. By this time the kings men too were marching along the path , their wheels stuck in the mud, and their horses were not able to draw them . When all the people safely reached the other side , Moses again raised his stick over the water and the water came back again closing the path, all the Egyptians were covered with water and the people of Israel never saw them again thus God has saved his children from the Egyptians forever,the people rejoiced and sang praises to God.
