By faith Moses’ parents hid him for
three months after he was born,
because they saw he was no ordinary
child…
Hebrews 11:23
Today I would like to make an “addition” to the faith list in Hebrews 11. Moses is part of that illustrious list, but as far as I am concerned, the person in Moses’ household who stands at the top of the faith podium is his mother.
Imagine going to the hospital and experiencing the birth of your child – a son. Then imagine when he is 3 months old, wrapping that baby in his receiving blanket, placing him in a secure box made with your own hands, then placing it on the sidewalk outside the Governor’s mansion, or Harvard University, or the White house, for that matter. Could you do that? I know I couldn’t…
…unless, I was
Moses’ mother. Jochebed had tremendous
faith in God, and placed her child in His hands, amid the rushes in the waters of the Nile. God honored that faith, and
returned her son to her to cherish until it was time for Moses to go to Pharaoh's household.
