Exodus 1:1 - 2:25


Nine: This story shows God's power. He let's Pharaoh's daughter see the basket. The midwives got blessed and they deserved it. They did it for the right reason, but Moses did not act for the right reason.

Twelve: God was with Moses and his family. The midwives did the right thing even though they lied because they save the lives of the little babies. Moses killed someone; he could have told the Egyptian not to do it. He had power.

Forty-seven: The midwives inspire me. They are the small players going about their everyday lives. Yet, in the face of the mightiest man in their world, they did the right thing. How often do I bow before much less powerful forces: hastiness, convenience? How do I learn to live every moment for God?
