As our story begins George rolls across the cage and slams into
Harry.
|
| Harry |
"What in the world are you doing George? I'm trying to sleep
here! Now get back on your side of the cage." |
| |
|
| George |
"Uhh I'm sorry Harry, uhhh I couldn't help it, uhh that little
Israel boy that owns us picked up our cage in such a rush, that I
uhhh couldn't help it... sorry" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"George old boy your right, why look all of God's people are
rushing around in a big hurry, and it's the middle of the night! Something
BIG must be going on! Hang on George it looks like we're coming in
for a rough landing." |
| |
|
| George |
"They must be in a hurry.. that sure was a rough way to load
us onto the camel... it looks like all God's people are leaving Egypt
and we almost didn't get packed. See Harry we're on the last camel! |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Yeah, Yeah I see George" |
| |
|
| George |
"I.. I.. I.. I wonder where we're going?" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Settle down George, I'm sure God will watch over his people."
|
| |
|
| George |
"I hope He watches over hamsters too! I'm worried" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Pull yourself together kid, remember the scriptures.. ‘My
defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. Psalm 7:10’
Look up ahead... God's people are following that pillar of fire." |
| |
|
| George |
“Oh yeah! And ‘Psalm 9:10: And they that know thy name
will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them
that seek thee’ [Play with whiskers] "I bet God's showing
them the way to go" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Don't look now Kid, but it looks like that mean old king of
Egypt has changed his mind about letting the people go." |
| |
|
| George |
"What do you mean Harry?" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Look behind us George, see the kings army is chasing us and
God's people can't go forward any longer because of the Red Sea" |
| |
|
| George |
"Uhh lets go to the right." |
| |
|
| Harry |
We can't there are mountain ranges!" |
| |
|
| George |
"Uhh then let's go to the left" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Open your beady little eyes George! There's mountain ranges
there too!" |
| |
|
| George |
"Aghhhh we're trapped like rats!" |
| |
|
| Harry |
How many times do I have to tell you, we're hamsters not rats!" |
| |
|
| George |
"Aghhhh we're trapped like hamsters!" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Shhh settle down George, look God's putting a big thick pillar
of cloud between His people and the Egyptian army. The army has stopped,
at least for the time being. ‘Exodus 15:2: The LORD is my strength
and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will
prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him’”
|
| |
|
| George |
"“Boy, that sounds good. Someone should write that down.
Harry, look, what's Moses doing?" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Why Moses is holding his staff and has stretched out his arm
over the Red Sea, and look George! God is parting the water! We're
on the move again! I knew God would protect His people." |
| |
|
| George |
"Hey Harry, uhh look the ground is dry.. were crossing on dry
ground! Those walls of water look scary I'm worried!" |
| |
|
| Harry |
"Now, George, you need to remember what you just said, and
here’s another one: ‘But know that the LORD hath set apart
him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto
him.. Psalm 4:3!’” |
| |
|
| George |
“Somebody better start calling! HELP!!!” |
| |
|
| Harry |
"We've been traveling a while now, but look we're finally made
it across. Don't look now but the Egyptian army is coming after us
again! Look the army is crossing the Red Sea and boy their chariots
are fast! |
| |
|
| George |
"Can't this camel go any faster!" |
| |
|
| Harry |
[Ring hands] "The army is starting to gain on us, their all
ready about half way across the Red Sea! [look surprised and jump
up and down] Look George! Moses stretched out his arm and staff over
the Red Sea again! The Lord has caused the walls of water to collapse
and the Egyptian army has been drowned! We're safe, we're safe, praise
God! |
| |
|
| George |
"Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy." Exodus 15:6 |
| |
|
| Harry |
“That’s a good one too. Somebody should write that
down.” |
| |
|
| George |
"Thanks be to God!...Look Harry, all of God's people are praising
Him and shouting glory to God!” |
| |
|
| Harry |
“Do you think these people have learned to do what God says
and trust Him?” |
| |
|
| George |
“I sure hope so. I don’t want to be around if they have
to learn THIS lesson again…..” |
| |
|
| Harry |
“Me neither, George, me neither.” |
| |

he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God,
and I will exalt him.” Exodus 15:2 |
