Reading the story
of Moses and the Israelites while they were slaves in the Egypt we can learn many
things. Right at birth Pharaoh decreed a new law; that all Hebrew babies were
killed. And now, how were they supposed to save Moses? I can’t even imagine the
pain those mothers felt when taken their babies to be killed. In the midst of
many mothers there was one that decided to use her faith. She decided not to
scream or cry, instead she thought quickly of a solution in a way to save the
life of her son. Jochebed placed Moses inside of a small basket and put him in
the Nile River, trusting that God would keep the baby safe and provide food for
him. It was a matter of faith. As you already know this attitude of Jochebed
made the difference in the history of the people of God.
I would like to
make a special declaration for this admirable woman. Among so much confusion,
tears, scream, foray, she could do something that the rest of them couldn’t;
which was to think of a way to save her son. She could have looked at the other
mothers and think, “that’s it now, I can only cry the loss of my son.” All moms
were devastated, with their emotions uncontrolled and sunk in a sea of pain. Jochebed
was feeling it all but thinking of what she could do, so she decided to use her
faith.
How have we reacted
in the difficult times when we feel trapped, when it seems like there’s no way
out, when the emotions want to take control, and the last thing we want to do
is cry and give in to the pain? Do we take an attitude of faith? Or do we drain
feeling incapable like those mothers, even knowing that our God is powerful?
Note that Jochebed
appealed to God and got the answer. God will never let down those who trust
Him; those who trust even when all circumstances are critical. Dear friend, if
you’re facing a similar situation, and you think that your strength is gone,
stand up and take an attitude of faith. This is exactly what God is waiting for
to raise up from His throne and bring you and the answer. No attitude of faith
goes unnoticed in the eyes of God.

Thank you so much...i will surely use my faith in every situation that i face...
Thank you so much I learned the importance of not conforming to other people behavior and have independent faith because if Moses mother relied on other people faith she could have surrendered her son to be killed but chose to believe on the impossible that can be possible with God.
