Now a new king arose over Egypt who did not give favor to the descendants of Joseph. He actually feared them, because they had multiplied to become more numerous and mightier than the Egyptians. So they made their lives bitter with all kinds of hard labor and when that didn't deter them, they decreed to put all the baby boys to death.
So, a son is born to a Levite woman and she hid him as long as she could. What an incredibly brave woman to place her baby in a basket into the Nile river, filled with crocodiles and the possibility of drowning and yet believed God would protect her child. As his sister stood nearby, where does he just happen to float? Right to the bank where Pharaoh's daughter bathes. She named him Moses, which means, I drew him out of the water. And who gets to paid to nurse her own baby and the security to know that once he is weaned he will be brought up in luxury, will be protected from harm and taught by the finest scholars in all the land? His own mother! How AWESOME is our God?!
