This week we are going to look at some key events from the life of Moses, starting today with his birth.
Finally, the king called in Shiphrah and Puah, the two women who helped the Hebrew mothers when they gave birth. He told them, " If a Hebrew woman gives birth to a girl, let the child live. If the baby is a boy, kill him!" But the two women were faithful to God and did not kill the boys, even though the king had told them to….
The Hebrews kept increasing until finally, the king gave a command to everyone in the nation, " As soon as a Hebrew boy is born, throw him into the
Soon after this command, Moses was born. The birth of Moses and the way in which his family saved him is one of the best-known stories in the bible. Moses was raised by his own mother in the household of the king (Pharaoh), the same king who wanted all Hebrew boys killed! The hand of God was evident in Moses life from the outset.
Even before you were born, God knew you, so be obedient to the plan God has for your life. If you are not sure what God wants you to do with your life, ask Him to make it clear to you.
Faithful people (like the midwives in the passage above) who are following God’s plan can thwart the actions of the enemy.
Be patient. It could be that your prayer will be answered in a week, or in 40 years. God’s timing is perfect, and with God all things are possible – whatever the odds!
Lord, reveal to us your plan for our lives today, Amen.
