Exodus chapter 2 1-10

During this time, a man from the family called Levi married a woman. She was from the same family. Later, she was expecting a child. And she gave birth to a son. She saw that her baby was a beautiful child. So she hid him for three months.  After that, she could not continue to hide him. So she obtained some plants that grow in water. And she used them to make a basket for her son. She covered the basket with a thick black substance so that water did not get into the basket. Then she placed the child in it. And she put the basket among the plants that grew along the edge of the River Nile.  The baby’s sister waited at a distance and she watched. She wanted to see what would happen to the baby.

 Then *Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the River Nile to wash herself. The servants walked along the river’s edge with her. And the princess saw the basket among the plants. So she sent her female slave to get it.  She opened the basket and she saw the baby. She felt sorry for him because he was crying. ‘I am sure that this is a *Hebrew baby’, she said. Then the baby’s sister spoke to *Pharaoh’s daughter. ‘Shall I go and get one of the *Hebrew women?’ she asked. ‘She could look after the baby for you.’

‘Yes, go’, *Pharaoh’s daughter answered. So the girl went home and she brought the baby’s mother to the princess.  ‘Take this baby and feed him for me. I will pay you’, the princess told her

So the woman took the baby and she looked after him.  And when the child was old enough, she took him back to *Pharaoh’s daughter. And he became the princess’s son. She named him ‘Moses’. ‘I pulled him out of the water’, she said.

What should you do when the Lord asks you to do something that doesn't seem right to your own understanding? Simply, obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit, for our understanding about life and the universe is very limited, but the Lord Jesus has all the power and all  the authority in every place that can be seen and unseen. We are His children and His followers, so where He would lead us is where we need to be.

We don’t know what will happen when we step out of our houses to complete the day’s work. We must have faith in Jesus to keep us steady and whole. Fears and doubts can cloud our judgment, and many people are never certain that they will accomplish everything that they set out to do, but if we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we can be sure that whatever plans He has for our lives  will be accomplished because He will give us the ability to do everything, including what seems to be impossible.

Moses’s mother put her faith in God to save her son from the Pharaoh's decree that all male Hebrew boys be killed by tossing them into the Nile River. She made a basket and coated it with pitch to make it waterproof, and then she put her baby into the basket and left it in the river. She had no idea how God would save her child, but God did so by the power of compassion from an Egyptian princess, the daughter of the man who had pronounced that same death sentence on her baby boy.

God will tell the mountains to move if it means that one of His children would be saved from death or some catastrophe. He will do whatever is necessary to complete His will in your life and in mine.

And so, what happened to her baby boy when she left all the consequences to the Lord? He was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and  was raised as a prince in Egypt. This was God’s plan, and certainly Moses’s mother could never have believed what God was going to do in his life. She did  not have the ability to save her son, but the Lord knew exactly what to do. In saving her son,  the Lord was ensuring the survival of her own people. 

God may put you in a position that doesn't seem right or fair, but it is up to you to decide to trust Him with your life. You may have many dreams that you want to pursue, but the Lord just might have a plan that would blow all of your dreams away!  You have to be willing to follow Him and to see where His path will lead you…
