Birth of Moses

Exodus 1:1-2:25
The people of Israel were in Egypt. All of Israel's sons have died and now there are so many of the Israelites that the people in Egypt are afraid of them. They decide to "deal shrewdly" with them...do we deal falsely with people we are afraid of?

This new Pharaoh has no memory of the good that Joseph did for his people and now the 70 people of Joseph's extended family are a great nation. How short is our memory? Do we forget what God has done for us, do we forget the people in our lives?

This new Pharaoh, out of fear decides to take matters into his own hands and rid himself of these worrisome people - these Israelites.

Yet we see that God has not forgotten his people and in the midst of this terrible time He has a plan and has set aside Moses.

Will I today keep my eyes on the plan that God unfolds in front of me? Will I remember the good that He has done for me, and remember the people He has put in my life and the blessing they have been in my life?

With God's help I can.

See you tomorrow.
