Moses

Thinking on Moses' life and his role in Exodus 1:1 through 2:10.

We Can Prepare And Wait
The Israelis were refugees at this time
Pharaoh fears their numbers
- Makes slaves of them
-  Orders murder of all male babies
- Orders everyone to kill Israeli males

We Can Go Against Authority
- Law
- Rules
- Political correctness
- Peer pressure

They knew enough to trust and follow what they knew of God

We Can Know God Is Working
Mother hid Moses.
Then becomes his nurse.

So often we can see God's hand in our lives - retroactively!
Everyone I know wishes God would act - quickly - with no question Gods is acting!
But He seems content to let evil reign unmolested far too long!
It is hard to remember to see life through God's eyes and values - not our own!

And though Moses certainly did not score a 100%, God found him ... righteous ...
And that is not half bad ...
