 T hank you
Thank you for allowing Suzy Bzz to be a resource for your child or children’s Bible
Reading and devotional.

As your littles travel through the wilderness experience with Moses and the
Israelites I pray that they will grow in their understanding and faith in God. He is
loving absolutely, but He also is a just God and He brings judgement. We do live
under grace - which God gives to us to give us the strength to live this life out
according to His standard. I know with our humanistic time that is not “religiously
or politically correct.” But it is Who our God is, He never changes. He is not a God
just lurking about ready to judge us, that is why He sent Jesus to give us love,
forgiveness, grace, and faith.

Years ago when teaching Moses and the Manna, the Lord gave me an illustrated
sermon for my kids. We spread out a cloth and had them pretend to lie down and
sleep, I poured out Frosted Flakes and they were to gather a handful, no more.
Some obeyed, some did not. Those that gathered more had to throw their extra
away. Maybe you as a parent could nd a way to bring this lesson into your home.
Remember, the bread from heaven was sweet and tasted like honey - Frosted
Flakes reminded me of what the Bible describes.

During this month your littles will also be reading and learning about the 10
Commandments or which I call the 10 DONOTS - this also were fun Bible lessons
the Lord gave me for our kids at children’s church. I hope your littles enjoy!

Our light affliction is only for a moment.

 UNLEAVENED BREAD
Read: Exodus 12:13-28
The Passover was such an important event, God did not want the Israelites to ever forget or take it lightly. There is so
much, but as you grow and as you read these verses again and again throughout your life, I pray God will open your
understanding to see the meaning of “unleavened bread.” But for now, putting leaven into bread was to make it soft and
thick. Without leaven it is flat and crunchy. It is not as enjoyable as leaven bread. God was telling them, this unleavened
bread, I God the Great I Am did not enjoy these plagues, it cost lives and blood of a lamb to protect you. Don’t take it lightly. Don’t think of
it as enjoyable even though I spared your lives by the blood on your doors. Someday, the lamb that would be slain will be My Son. This
unleavened bread comes with some pretty severe consequences: God is love, so to give all those plagues, and then the last that brought
death, it was not joyful for God at all. He dreaded having to resort to such measures because of the hardness of hearts, sin, and unbelief.

1. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread

2. The first day there shall be a “holy convocation” which means a “holy assembly.”

3. It is a day of rest - no work, but eat. Prepare food for this day

4. This shall be a “Feast” of Unleavened bread. A feast means an abundance of food, fruits, and unleavened bread - a party.

5. Vs 17 - God says, “for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of Egypt.” (God declares how He sees us and who we really
are. They were slaves, but God sees them as “armies” “warriors” “soldiers” ready to conquer).

6. For 7 days no leavened bread, and if any leaven is even found in your house, that person or family will be cut off from the congregation.

7. You shall eat nothing leavened; in ALL your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.

God gives commands and He expects them to be obeyed completely.. God gives commands, but He then gives us the choice to obey and do
what He said completely. Or not obey at all. Or do it only half way.

What is the consequence for not obeying completely? Because not eating unleavened bread but having it in your house GOD considers
disobedience.
 FIRE BY NIGHT
CLOUD BY DAY
Read: Exodus 13:17-22
Moses, Aaron and all the Israelites are leaving Egypt. Why we

need to follow Jesus? Because He knows who you are and

what you are capable of. God knows what your life is like
and how those things good or bad make you who you are.

God leads Moses and the Israelites, not the shorter way
- but the way He knows they can handle at this time.
There are so many things to learn about God and our
new faith in Him when we become born again.

The Israelites, had been slaves all their lives, this is all they
knew. Their parents, and grandparents for 430 years they were slaves. They had never owned
anything, nor could they do what they wanted - they did not know freedom. They only knew
how to be slaves.

When we become born again, all we know is how to be slaves to sin. God knows how to lead us
and which way we are to go, to learn how to be free from sin, sickness, poverty, lack, fear of
people. Only God knows. We must listen, obey, and follow HIM.

He gave the Israelites - a cloud by day and re by night. So they would know that He was with
them. God has done no less for us on this journey of life, in fact our New Covenant is greater
the Bible says. Jesus, the Word of God is our “light” and The Great Holy Spirit is our “ re” given
to us to give us the power and authority we need to live “by faith.” Just as God gave them
Moses to lead them, God gives you Preachers of Righteousness, we call them “Pastor.”

 Go This Way To the Sea
Read: Exodus 14:1-4, 5-9,
10-20

God could have lead Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt, and lead them the fastest route. But He
led them towards the sea. When Pharaoh hears the direction they were headed he thought “They
don’t even know where they are going!” The way they are headed is a dead end.

God knows exactly what He is doing. This is a great lesson to learn. Man and their knowledge is
limited. We serve a limitless God. Moses and the Israelites are headed for a dead end, but God has a
plan to show Himself once again to Pharaoh and the Egyptians, the Israelites, and the world. For all
that God has already done with the plagues has gone to other places and nations, wait until they
hear how God delivers His people out of a dead end!

What God did in Egypt and to the Egyptians has gone around the world even today, movies of the
Red Sea, go to Universal Studios they even have or had an attraction that told about the Red Sea
parting. OUR GOD IS MAGNIFICENT!

“Do not be afraid. Stand

still, and see the
salvation of the LORD,
which He will accomplish
for you today.”
Exodus 14:13

Highlight this verse in your Bible. Memorize this verse. This needs to become
your life way of following Jesus! Don’t be afraid. Stand still and you will see
the salvation of the Lord! Run to your Bible and get that Word of God, and
then stand on that Word and watch the salvation of the Lord.

READ Exodus 14:21-31
LET’S LOOK AT VERSE 15 AGAIN: THE LORD SAID TO MOSES, “WHY
DO YOU CRY TO ME? TELL THE CHILDREN TO GO FORWARD.”

GOD WANTS US TO PRAY - BUT HE DOES NOT LIKE IT WHEN WE

WHINE!
God was basically telling Moses, stop whining, I already told you what I was going to
do. So do your part - stretch out your hand with the rod and go forward. Have some
faith!

Moses stretches out his hand with the rod, and a great wind comes so strong and
great that the waters are pushed back to make walls, and instantly the bottom of the
sea is open and the sand is dr y so all the 600 plus women and children, cattle, sheep,
wagons, can cross on dr y ground.

OUR GOD IS MAGNIFICENT!

 Praise Praise Praise
READ Exodus 15:1-21
Let’s go over what Moses declared as he sang his song of praise.

The Lord is my strength and song, He is become my

salvation.
The Lord is a man of war - The LORD is His name.

Thy right hand O LORD is become glorious with power.

Who is like the LORD among the gods?

Thy mercy has led forth the people which YOU have
redeemed.

YOU shall bring them (YOUR people) and plant them in

the mountain of YOUR inheritance.

The LORD shall reign forever and ever

Moses started praising, but by the end all the multitudes were praising
and Marian and the women were dancing unto the Lord.
 Praise Praise Praise
READ Exodus 15:1-21
When we praise the Lord, we cause others to join in with us. So be loud
in your praise, meaning don’t be ashamed to open your mouth, lift
your hands, dance and praise the Lord.

Every day along with Bible reading, begin to add praise to your
every day. Play praise music while you get ready, while you do
chores. If you do this every day, praise will be in your heart, not
just in your mouth.

As you discover those songs that you really enjoy, and as you put
praise into your everyday, one day you will begin to sing a new
song to the Lord, one that comes straight from your heart.

When we learn to praise God every day this becomes our

protection against wrong thoughts, bad feelings, anger, sadness,
especially when we don’t feel well, to sing praise to God brings
healing to our bodies.

Praise brings Jesus. The Bible says, “The Lord inhabits the praises of
His people.” Psalm 22:3 What does “inhabits” mean? Praise causes The
Lord to come and sit down and enjoy your praise, it causes you to
experience Jesus glorious presence.
 Praise Praise Praise
READ Exodus 15:1-21
This song is for any age. My 3 year old
granddaughter loves “Shout the Walls Down.”
She knows the words and during praise and
Itunes or Spotify worship at church she sings, jumps and claps.

There is also on Utube (I do not promote this streaming channel) but they
have DG Songs, it is all these Bible stores told by songs.

**Parents unless you have a premium account you will need to watch with
your children so you can skip the commercials. My granddaughter has
learned so many Bible stories with song.

Yancy is a great children’s resource for Praise & Worship Songs. If you have
ITunes or Spotify you can nd her music. I would suggest the Little Praise
party especially “Super Wonderful God” Both my granddaughters love this.

If your child has trouble sleeping, or is afraid of the dark, I always

encourage worship music as they sleep. There is one I completely
recommend it is on ITunes and Spotify - Ken Blount - Sleep Baby Sleep. I
love it. I even listen to it occasionally when sleep and thoughts are
trying to rob my sleeping in peace.

Praise brings Jesus. The Bible says, “The Lord inhabits the praises of His
people.” Psalm 22:3 What does “inhabits” mean? Praise causes The Lord
to come and sit down and enjoy your praise, it causes Him to make His
presence known to you. (Repeated because this needs to become our
lifestyle).

 BITTER WATERS TO 12 SPRINGS
READ Exodus 15:22-27
NO WATER!!!! WHAT!

Yes there was water, but it was bitter, undrinkable. The

people “complained against Moses.” As we travel through
the Wilderness in Exodus, you will see that is what the
people did - complain, complain, whine, gossip and
complain.

They cried meaning they whined they complained to

Moses saying, “What shall we drink?”

Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a tree.
Moses takes the tree and threw it into the waters.

The moment the tree was thrown into the waters they
became SWEET! Could a branch from a tree make all the
water sweet instantly or at all? NO and NO. Moses
talking to God about the problem, Moses listened and God
gave him the solution.

BUT THAT IS NOT THE END OF THIS MARVELOUS SUPPLY

FROM GOD! GOD HAD SOMETHING GREATER IN STORE FOR
THE ISRAELITES.

GOD GIVES THEM A STATUTE AND AN ORDINANCE. IT WAS A

TEST TO SHOW THEM WHERE THEIR HEARTS WERE.

“If you will diligently heed the voice of the LORD

your God and do what is right in His sight, give
ear to His commandments and keep all His

which I brought on the Egyptians. For I Am the SENTENCE or
LORD Who heals you.”
VERDICT

Exodus 15:26
 BITTER WATERS TO 12 SPRINGS
READ Exodus 15:22-27
I grew up hearing this story about the Bitter
Water of Marah. But it wasn’t until I was
studying for the Moses curriculum I was
writing for our children’s church that I
discovered the 12 Springs (the NKJV says
wells) and 70 palm trees. Which totally made
this story so much more that God knows what
is ahead we just need to trust Him.
They came to Elim - I will never forget Elim for
our God’s supply was unlimited. 12 wells mean
that the springs that brought the water to
these wells, was owing in
abundance. There was one well for
each tribe for remember there
were 12 tribes of the
Israelites. So they didn’t even
have to share among the tribes
each tribe could have a well to
themselves.
70 Palm trees, remember God was with
them in the cloud by day, so this cloud
brought shade already from the hot sun.
God always has trees where He brings His
provision. Remember Abraham, God led him to
pitch his tent by the Terebith tree. God
brought them to an Oasis, 12 wells and 70
palm trees.
fl
The Israelites complained, they said -
Did you bring us here to die. But it was
only a temporary problem.
The enemy always tries to make us look
at the worst. Thinking God would lie and
not do what He said.
The enemy is always trying to get us to
believe that God is our problem. God is
the reason we don’t have water or
whatever.
But the devil is a liar, Jesus
said he is the father of lies.
Meaning he can’t tell the
truth.
The Bible says, God is not a
man that he can lie. God doesn’t
lie, He says what He says and
means it. He will do whatever
it takes to bring His promises
which is His word to pass.
God is NEVER our problem. God is
our solution, our
Supplier, our Healer.

WE WANT FOOD!
The Camp of Israel left Elim and were traveling for three days. They were hungry
and they started craving all the food they ate in Egypt. The pots of meat and the
bread. They began to murmur and complain. They went to Moses and Aaron and
said, “We should have died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt instead of dying in this
wilderness.”

The Lord said to Moses, “Look, I will rain down bread from heaven, and the people
shall go out and gather a certain amount every day. I will test them whether they
will obey My commands or not.” “On the sixth day, they shall gather twice as much.”

GLORY OF THE LORD

Moses and Aaron said to the camp of Israel, “In the morning you shall see the glory
of the LORD; for He hears your complaints. “This shall be seen, the LORD will give you
meat to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to the full, for the Lord hears
your complaints.”

As Aaron talked with the camp of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness and
behold the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. And the LORD spoke to Moses
saying, “I have heard the complaints of the Camp of Israel. Speak to them and say,
“At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread:
And you shall know that I AM the LORD your GOD.

Quails came at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all
around the camp. When the dew lifted, on the ground was a small round substance
as fine as frost. So the children of Israel said to one another, “What is it?” Moses
said, “This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.”

The LORD has commanded, “Let every house gather according to what they need, one
Omer for each person per household.” The children of Israel did and gathered some
more and some less. Those that gathered much had nothing left over, and those who
gathered little had no lack. Every one gathered to what they needed.

SABBATH REST
Moses said, “Don’t leave any of it until morning.” But the people didn’t listen. Those
that left some till morning, it was full of worms and it stunk. Moses became angry
with them. They gathered it every morning, but on the sixth day they gathered
twice as much.

Moses said, “The LORD says, ‘tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a Holy Sabbath to the
Lord. Bake or cook what you need today and for tomorrow.” And they did and it did
not stink, and no worms were in it The next day, Moses said, “Eat today, today is a
Sabbath to the LORD, today you will not find any in the field.” But there were those
who went out anyway on the seventh day and they found none.

show the generations, so they can see the bread the LORD fed the Israelites in the
wilderness.”

Moses & The Elders

Moses was called to lead God's people to the
Promised Land - he was a gift to them from God. But
Moses still had to live through his life and through the
wilderness just like all the children of Israel.
This wilderness journey, and all Moses and the
children of Israel experienced was to bring glory and
honor to God.
Pastors are like Moses they are leading us also. Your
parents are your leaders/elders also, so follow them
without complaining and murmuring. Trust to hear
God as they raise you to become a mighty man or
woman of God. Trust them when they say "NO" or
"wait", it is for your best.

WATER OUT OF A ROCK

All the tribes of Israel set out according to the command of the LORD. They camped in
Rephidim and their was no water to drink. The people challenged Moses, and said, “Give
us water, that we may drink.” Moses said, “Why are you challenging me? Why do you not
tempt the LORD?” They murmured and complained and said, “Why is it you have brought
us out of Egypt to kills us, our children and livestock?” Moses cried to the LORD, and said
the people are ready to stone me.

The LORD said, “Go on before the people and take with you some of the Elders of Israel.
Also take your rod with which you struck the river and go. I will stand before you there
on the rock of Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the
people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders.

He called the name of the place Massah and Meridian which means “tempted” and

2. Joshua: Joshua is a form of the name Jesus (because the Hebrew word for Jesus is
Joshua) but it is Jesus in us. Joshua was a leader of men, Jesus is our Leader

3. Moses lifting up his hands: It is lifting up the Word of God above all else in your life.
When you lift up the Word of God above everything then you praise and worship in
the battle because you know with the Word of God in your mouth and faith you will
win not your enemy.

4. Aaron and Hur: They represent those God sends with us to stand and hold us up in
prayer until we win

5. Stone/Rock: Jesus is our rock. Moses rested in Jesus. Moses faith and trust was in
God, God’s strength, God’s power, God’s Word.

6. Joshua fight with the sword: Our Armor of God what is our sword? Bible. We use the
Word of God to defeat our enemy (make them lay down) and flee from us because
we resist whatever attack they bring with the Word of God.

7. Write it down and rehearse it: The Word of God is written for us to read, hear, and
study it. Then we write those verses down so we do not forget them. We rehearse
them or say them and then do them.

8. God finishes it: I will remove all remembrance of this battle from under heaven. You
will need to write it down because you will never have to deal with this again. Jesus
said on the cross, “It is finished.”
Battle and Battle Strategy
You will have many battles in this life. On the earth we have enemies just like
Amalek.

• Sin
• Sickness
• Fear
• People not like us because we love Jesus
• Our feelings and our minds
You will have many battles. But if you do like Moses and Joshua:

• Get God’s Word in your hand and in your heart and speak it from your mouth
• Not just hearing but following the direction of the Word of God
• Praise God and Jesus no matter what you want to or feel like it
• Choose your friends wisely, those who will pray with you and encourage you with
Jesus and His love

• Tell others about the battles you win

• Write it down - keep a Battle log
• Keep hearing and hearing the Word - Go to church always.

Frame

What you will need:

• They will use markers to decorate

the outside of the frame

• Then they will use a pencil to curl

the 4 sides towards the middle one side
at a time and that will make the frame.

• Need a Battle pledge one for each

child to glue in the center of their
frame.

• Below is frame template to print

one for each child on various bright
colored cardstock (must be on
cardstock for it to roll up and make
frame sturdy.) IF you don’t have
colored cardstock use white card stock
and have children decorate prior to
curling with pencil.

Make some for your friends or family

and share them. This is a great item to
testify of how Great Your God is.

Thank you!
For downloading this Bible reading calendar with devotional & activities. I hope your
children will be blessed and that they grow to love God with all their heart and life. That if
they tend to complain and murmur, this month will encourage them to change this behavior. I
pray they will make prayer and praise with worship part of their every day just as they are
making Bible reading their life style.

Know that the LORD, He

is God; it is He who has
made us, and not we
ourselves; we are His
people and the sheep
of His pasture.
