She saw him that he was a goodly child. Exodus 2:2
God used five women to rescue Moses from the death decreed by Pharaoh. The two midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, believed they should obey God rather than Pharoah and were instrumental in preserving the lives of Hebrew children. Moses’ mother, Jochabed, risked her life to keep him alive, as did Miriam, his sister. Even Pharaoh’s daughter, who must have known he was a Hebrew baby, did her part in providing for his immediate needs as well
as his overall development. The men in Moses’ life were doubtless doing their part but it is only these women who are mentioned by name as contributing significantly in God’s plan to raise a deliverer for Israel. May we have similar hearts. —M. MacMullen
Lord, lay some soul upon my heart, and love that soul through me;
And may I faithfully do my part to win that soul for Thee. —L. Tucker
