In today's passage we read about God's protection over Moses and ultimately the nation of Israel. In verse three we read, "But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile."
It is very interesting that these God fearing parents (Hebrews 11:23) would place their baby boy into the same river where all the other boys were were to be thrown to die according to Pharoah's edict in Exodus 1:22.
Questions to Ponder......
1. According to Hebrews 11:23, what was it that moved Moses'
parents to place him in the Nile River?
2. We often want to protect our children (ourselves) from danger,
even if it is in the will of God. How does the surrendering of
Moses to God (by faith) fit into the bigger plan that God had for
Moses? For the people of Israel? (see Exodus 3:10)
3. How did the surrenduring of Jesus' life to His father fit into the
bigger plan of God (see 1Peter 2:23-25).
Prayer: Ask the Lord to grow your faith, so that you might be able to surrender your life to God so that His bigger plan of bringing people and glory to Himself might not be hindered.
