The Crazy Life Of Moses - Student PlanSample

Have you ever had a time when something you planned didn’t turn out the way you wanted? You studied really hard for a test, but still failed. You thought you would make the team, but you didn’t. Or maybe your parents gave you some bad news - you have to move, grandma is really sick, or they’re getting a divorce.  

These times can be really hard. But, we see in the story of Moses that God is with us in the good times and the bad times. He’s there for us when things go the way we plan and when they don’t. Moses’ mom didn’t plan on having to send her baby in a little boat down the river to save his life. But, even in this bad time, we see God working. Moses’ mom was chosen by Pharaoh’s daughter to her son for a little bit! And eventually, Moses would be the guy who God used to free his people from slavery in Egypt. 

God’s plans are better than our plans. Even when things don’t make sense and things don’t go the way we would have wanted, we can trust God. You might not see how God is working in your situation right now, but when you look back 5, 10, 25 years from now, things may begin to makes sense.  

What can you do to remind yourself that God is always with you, even when it doesn’t feel that way?
