What I read Exodus 2...
Well, this chapter is quite action packed unlike my work day, however, I did get a friendly smile. In this chapter Moses is born, his mother hides him until he is 3 months old, which in and of itself sounds crazy to me... how to do you hide a newborn, the only way they talk is by crying, plus your with them all the time... and people saw you were pregnant and now you're not... How she hid him I don't know but God took care of him... Little did she know she was going to following Pharaoh's order and throw him into the Nile, granted he'd be in a basket and watched by his sister till he made it to Pharaoh's sister, where he was taken care of, Pharaoh obviously probably did not approve because later he wants to kill him... He is nursed by his own mother and then grows up only to kill an Egyptian that was attacking a Hebrew like all Egyptians act toward Hebrews as I understand it in chapter 1, then he runs away once his sin is found out because Pharaoh wants him dead... He ends up in Midian married to Zipporrah and has a kid, after saving the daughters of the priest of Midian. He gets accepted into the family, just like that? Many years have obviously passed and then the people of Isreal are crying out to God under the oppression of the Egyptians... well... God hears their cries and remembers the people. So much happens in this chapter it is hard to focus on just one area. I love that the Lord hears the people... So often we cry out to the Lord in times of hardships and we feel like all we are doing is crying... but he hears us... every time, every second, every thought, every word that is uttered he hears... he knows he remembers and he desires to take care of us. Sometimes the Lord does not answer right away because he is working on a plan... like he was working on Moses to become the deliverer of the people of Israel. It takes years to fulfill Gods perfect plan... So, do not be discouraged in waiting and because the Lord is working in you and is perfecting you to be the woman of Christ that he desires you to be. This is mostly for myself... because in a world where we want everything as fast as it can happen... he lives in a timeless existence where it can take years for us but perhaps just seconds to him... His plans do not run on our timeline... Remember that next time you are praying for something to change in your heart... he's already started working on cutting away that very area your praying out.
Good Night and God Bless!
