GOD SAVED MOSES
Keywords 2:2
and she became pregnant and
gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for
three months.
1. Through his Levitical mother’s faith (1-4)
In the midst of
oppression, God’s people continued to marry and have children, including a
Levite family. When this woman gave birth to a boy, by the king’s edict he
should have been crocodile food. She didn’t think of herself, but saw how fine
the boy was and by faith hid him, defying Pharaoh’s decree. After three months,
realizing she could not save him, she put him in a basket on the Nile: another
act of faith. God blessed her and spared the child.
2. Through
Pharaoh’s daughter’s mercy (5-10)
The basket stopped
among the reeds before Pharaoh’s daughter! She saw him, heard his crying, and
was moved to pity. Knowing he was a Hebrew child, she chose to take him in any
way. His sister spoke up, and a way was made for the boy to be nursed by his
own mother. He became the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, and she named him Moses, a
Hebrew name that sounds like “drawn out.” Every time Moses heard his name, he
would remember this story of amazing grace: God blessed the faith of his
mother, the courage of his sister, and the mercy of Pharaoh's daughter to save
him from death.
Prayer Thank you for your
amazing saving grace. Help me remember your grace today.
One Word God’s amazing grace
