Series Overview
Puzzles are a lot of fun. Who doesn’t love a good peg puzzle? The cow goes in the cow shape. The pig goes in the pig shape. Easy, peasy! But as we get older, puzzles can become a lot more difficult, and it can be hard to know where each piece goes. We all face difficult circumstances that are way bigger than what we can handle. It’s in those times that God wants us to trust Him with all our hearts and say, “God’s got it!” We don’t have to have all the pieces or know where they all go. All we need to know is that God sees the big picture and God’s got it. Our job is to trust God and take it one piece at a time. So, whether it’s needing help with a big job, knowing which way to go, not having what we need, or talking to God about anything . . . God can handle it, because God’s got it!

While taking care of his sheep, Moses sees a bush that is on fire, but there is something different about it. The leaves are still green. The bush isn’t burning up. Then, Moses hears God’s voice coming from inside the burning bush. God tells Moses to go to Egypt and help God’s people, the Israelites. God wants Moses to take the Israelites to a new land. Moses isn’t sure he can do it, but God tells Moses, “I will be with you.” Moses can trust God because nothing is too big for God. Nothing is too hard for God! God’s got it!

God leads the people with a pillar of cloud in the day and a pillar of fire at night. God shows His people the way to go and never leaves them. God stays right in front of them, morning and night, because God’s got it.

Elijah tells the woman that God says her flour and oil will not run out. The woman trusts God no matter what.
