Moses and the Brass Serpent
Learning to have faith in the Lord
While the Israelites traveled in
the wilderness, they often forgot the Lord and complained.
The Lord sent serpents to help
them be humble and remember Him.
The serpents bit the people, and
many of the people died.
Soon the people repented.
They asked Moses to pray that the
Lord would make the serpents go away.
The Lord did not take the serpents
away.
But He did make a way for the
people to be saved if they were bitten.
The Lord told Moses to make a
serpent out of brass and attach it to a pole.
When the people were bitten and
looked at the brass serpent, the Lord saved them.
The Lord helped the Israelites to
be humble and trust in Him.
