Bible Reading: Exodus 2:1-10
Key Verse: Verse – “And the woman conceived, and bare
a son: and when she saw him that he was
a goodly child, she hid him three months.”
Key Words: she hid him three months
We all know the story of
Moses and how his mother, Jochebed, protected Moses from death and went so far
as to put the young baby in a basket and place the basket in the Nile
River. We also know that Jochebed
assigned Moses’ older sister, Miriam, to watch over the basket until Pharaoh’s
daughter came to bathe, and how Pharaoh’s daughter took Moses back to the
Egyptian palace and God allowed Jochebed to raise her son in Pharaoh’s palace.
Through all of Jochebed’s
actions she demonstrated her faith in God.
Having faith in God, though, is not easy. Consider the following.
“A man slipped and fell
off a cliff while hiking on a mountaintop.
Luckily he was able to grab a branch on his way down. Holding on for dear life, he looked down only
to see a rock valley some fifteen hundred feet below. When he looked up it was twenty feet to the
cliff where he had fallen. Panicked, he
yelled, ‘Help! Help! Is anybody there? Help!’
A booming voice spoke up, ‘I am here, and I will save you if you believe
in me.’ ‘I believe! I believe!’ yelled back the man. ‘If you believe me, let go of the branch and
then I will save you.’ The young man,
hearing what the voice said, looked down again.
Seeing the rock valley below, he quickly looked back up and shouted, ‘Is
there anybody else up there?’”
Talking about faith is
easy, but unapplied faith is no faith at all.
What to do:
✞ Put your faith in God and
put your faith into action.
