Key Verse: 2:2b

First, Moses' parents saw their child with eyes of hope (1-4). Though their son was born under an edict of death, they defied the king's edict and hid the baby. God opened their spiritual eyes and communicated with them to see that Moses was no ordinary child. God wanted them to know that he had a special purpose in mind. And so, by faith, Moses' parents did their best and God did the rest (Heb 11:23). God inspired them to find a novel approach. Love and faith found a way where there is no way. God hopes in every person, that they will overcome the darkness, glorify God and bear fruit. We need eyes to see others as God sees them.

Second, there is no accident in God (5-10). It was no accident that Pharaoh's daughter was chosen to discover baby Moses. It was God's plan for his mother to be found so she might instill faith and a spiritual identity in his heart while nurturing him. Later he would get a great education. God was laying a foundation for future ministry. God's plan is better than Moses' parents could ever imagine.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for having a plan for each of our lives and fulfilling your work in us. We want to let go and allow you to be the shepherd of our lives.

One Word: God has a plan and is fulfilling it
