Courage Under Pressure 💪
Pharaoh commanded these women to do this terrible thing to Israelite baby boys at birth.
What is the babies were born too fast / before they arrived?
This is how Moses's mother hid him to save him from Pharaoh's guards.
What is put him in a basket in the river?
President Nelson said "The Lord loves ___."
What is effort?
If it takes 5 skeins of yarn to crochet a sweater, and a cat knocks 3 skeins off the table, and Pharaoh is really upset about it, and the Nile River is approximately 4,132 miles long — what is 2 plus 2?
What is 4?
Historians, archaeologists, and one very confused Sunday School teacher agree this is the most likely reason unicorns missed the ark.
What is they thought it was a drill? (Accept any funny answer)
After the midwives fooled him, an angry Pharaoh gave this new, even more extreme order to his guards.
What is kill all Israelite baby boys?
This member of Pharaoh's household found the basket and raised Moses as her own.
What is Pharaoh's daughter?
Instead of just magically building the ark for Noah, God asked him to build it himself because He wanted to do this for Noah.
What is bless him / help him grow?
A color guard flag spins at 47 rotations per minute, Moses has been floating in his basket for 3 hours, a cat named Gerald is judging everyone silently, and the ballet recital starts at 7pm — how many cats does our cat lover have?
What is 3 or 4?
Noah demonstrated self-reliance by building the ark himself. A unicorn, lacking hands and apparently also self-reliance, failed to grow in this area from Luke 2:52.
What is wisdom? (Accept any of the four areas)
The midwives chose to disobey Pharaoh because of their reverence for this
What is God?
Moses was doing this job in Midian when he saw the burning bush.
What is tending sheep?
Jesus grew in four areas as a young man — wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with this fourth group.
What is man / other people?
If the smartest student in class reads 400 pages per hour, Pharaoh owns 12 chariots, it takes 6 pirouettes to cross a stage, and a unicorn hasn't returned anyone's texts — what is the name of the river Moses floated on?
What is the Nile?
The unicorn reportedly showed up late to the ark because it got distracted doing this.
What is posing for tapestries? (Accept anything funny)
The midwives tricked Pharaoh by telling him this excuse for why they couldn't follow his orders.
What is the babies were born too fast / before they arrived?
When God called Moses to lead Israel, Moses said he couldn't do it because he was bad at this.
What is speaking?
Self-reliance means combining our own effort with this power from Jesus Christ.
What is grace / His enabling power?
A crocheted blanket requires 47 knots per row, the color guard routine has 8 counts, Gerald the cat has strong opinions about the burning bush, and ballet shoes come in sizes 4 through 12 — who told the midwives to do something terrible to the Israelite babies?
Who is Pharaoh?
Scientists have found zero fossil evidence of unicorns. This is because, according to absolutely no scripture whatsoever, unicorns are made entirely of this.
What is glitter / magic / hopes and dreams? (Accept anything)
Because the midwives chose God over Pharaoh, the scriptures say God did this for them.
What is blessed them / dealt well with them?
At the burning bush, God told Moses His name was this, meaning He always exists and is always present.
What is "I AM"?
God made Moses climb all the way up the mountain before giving him revelation because He wanted Moses to do this first.
What is act / make the effort?
If yarn costs $4.99 a skein, a pirouette burns 0.3 calories, the smartest student has already finished next year's homework, two of the cats are judging Moses's basket weaving technique, and a color guard flag weighs exactly as much as a unicorn's feelings — what did the midwives tell Pharaoh when he asked why the babies were still alive?
What is the babies came too fast?
If the unicorn had made it onto the ark, it would have needed to demonstrate self-reliance in at least one area. Given that it has no hands and a giant horn on its face, this is the ONE area from Luke 2:52 it could have actually improved.
What is stature? (It just needed to duck so it fit through the door)
