Grace for your spirit May 8, 2013

Grace for your spirit
But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch.  Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.  Exodus 2:3

King Pharaoh of Egypt feared their Hebrew slaves would grow in number and strength and overcome Egypt.  He ordered all the males that were born to be thrown into the Nile River.  A women named Jochebed refused to kill her son.  She set him free to float down the Nile under the providence of God.  That baby was found by Pharoah's daughter, but nursed and raised by his own mother.  Because he was drawn out of the water, they named him Moses.  Eighty years later God called him to be the deliverer of Israel.  Believe it or not, many people do not know this story of faith, sacrifice, trust, and deliverance.  Let's share it with someone this Mother's Day.
