Today's Daily Lesson comes from Exodus chapter 2 verses 5 through 10:
5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to bring it. 6When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, and she took pity on him. ‘This must be one of the Hebrews’ children,’ she said. 7Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, ‘Shall I go and get you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?’ 8Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Yes.’ So the girl went and called the child’s mother. 9Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages.’ So the woman took the child and nursed it. 10When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and she took him as her son. She named him Moses,* ‘because’, she said, ‘I drew him out of the water.’
There is humanity behind the walls of even the most cruel and corrupt of families and regimes.
There is decency and goodness inside the hearts of people whose parents, spouses, and/or bosses are absolutely sociopathically evil.
God is at work, using these people to thwart evil, and save the innocent.
Pray for these people today. They must live in terror themselves. Yet, they too resist in their own ways -- sometimes large, but mostly small and unknown. Pray for these people to have hearts which are softened, and consciences that are provoked.
Even now, God is using their humanity to thwart and save.
And Moses was drawn out of the water . . .
