Exodus 2:3-8 (ESV)

Originally published 01/15/2015

The king of Egypt ordered all male children to be killed, but a Hebrew woman had a son: "When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, 'This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, 'Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?' And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, 'Go.' So the girl went and called the child's mother" Exodus 2:3-8 (ESV). Through a series of "random" event by a mother, Pharaoh's daughter, and Moses' sister, God rescued one of his greatest servants. Lord, guide me that every random act will be under your control so  that your will and purpose will be worked out in my life. I will never know in this world the things you lead me to do that might have eternal significance
