QT on 3rd March 2012: Exodus 2:1-10

Today's Word is taken from Exodus 2:1-10 (NIV)

The Birth of Moses

[1] Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, [2] and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. [3] But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. [4] His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. [5] Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. [6] She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said. [7] Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” [8] “Yes, go,” she answered. And the girl went and got the baby’s mother. [9] Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. [10] When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”


1. Salvation can come in humble & unexpected forms. We need to learn that God's ways are above our ways and when we face with situations that we do not understand, we need to believe that God is in control and continue to trust in Him. God will always make a way, but it is not necessary an easy way. It definitely may not be a way of shine & glamour too, although it can be...


2. God loves us and He will always bless our lives. We need to continue to trust God in difficult times and believe that God will prepare us to achieve His mission. Like what Ps Rich said during the G12 conference, do not pray against difficult situations because difficult situations could be the work of God to shape us for His purpose. Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I said, REJOICE!



Closing Prayer:
O Lord of my destiny, as the story of my life is still being written, teach me to trust in Your sovereign will. I make all the facets of my life available to you, so that You may work in and through me to Your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
