Tues.’s Devo - The Birth of Moses

Read Ex. 2:1-10 The Hebrews are under severe bondage and now the Pharaoh has ordered the death of all Hebrew boys. (Sounds like the times when Jesus was born.) When the devil smells destiny on a person he will go to great lengths to kill it, but God always out-smarts him. A baby boy was born to a couple both from the tribe of Levi. Something about this baby let her know that he was no ordinary boy and he needed to be rescued from the law. So she put him in self-made ark and took him to the river and let him go to float to his destiny. What faith! His older sister hid to watch what would happen. I guess his mother couldn’t stand to watch. As God would have it, the daughter of Pharaoh came down to the river at the same time to wash, saw the basket floating in the river and sent her maid to get it. When she opened it she saw the baby and he cried. She was instantly knit to this baby and recognized it to be a Hebrew baby. His sister jumped from her hiding and offered to get a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby for her. Pharaoh’s daughter agreed and the sister ran and brought back the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter agreed to pay her to nurse the baby till it was weened, then she would take him. So, the baby went back with his mother till he was weened. At this time he was given to the Pharaoh’s daughter to live in the palace. She named him Moses which means “drawn out” because he was drawn out of the water. Moses is a type of the church now and in the last days. As Christians in a hostel world, we are hidden in Christ like Moses was hidden in that basket. We are preserved for our destiny like Moses was in that ark, and drawn out just in time to walk in our ministry. In the end, when the world is going through great tribulation and unrest., we will be raptured out to live with God in his palace.
