DAILY?READINGS: Ezra 10; Daniel 11:1-20; Revelation 6
She took for him an ark of bulrushes… and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink. Exodus 2:3
How could Moses’ mother be so calm? Her child was the target of an evil tyrant and yet she calmly placed her son in harm’s way, into the river. In Hebrews 11:23 it says of Moses’ parents that, “They were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” Obviously they had been communing with the true King in the secret place. When the heart is put in tune in the inner sanctuary, the life will be in step in the market place. This includes remaining calm in a crisis. Faith may not calm the storm, but it will calm our fears in the storm. —Milton Haack
Cause me to walk in Christ, my Way; and I Thy statutes shall fulfill,
In every point Thy law obey, and perfectly perform Thy will. —C. Wesley
