This blog post is based off of Exodus 2:1-10 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
I love the story of Moses and how his mother saved him by placing him in a basket, setting it in the river, and then has his sister watch to see if he is protected. How much is God's hand in this story?
I can see so much of God throughout this short story. I can see Him impressing on the mother that she must let Moses go. He showed them just where to place the basket at the right time. God timed Pharaoh's daughter's appearance at the right time as well, and gave Miriam the right words to say to get Moses back home safe and sound.
So much of God was in this story. I can see His hand in very step of the way, but I'm sure at the time it felt scary, hopeless, uncertain.
Miriam watched over Moses as she awaited his fate. I'm not sure how patient she was, but I'm sure that she was watching and waiting in prayer.
Whenever we face "watchful" and "waiting" situations, sometimes it is hard to just stand back and pray. We want to intervene and put our own hand in to help out. But God always has it under control. All we must do is pray and trust that God will always have his hand in our situation. He is faithful and working for our good. Trust, wait, and pray today. Allow His hands to create the perfect story.
"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart." Psalm 27:14
