Moses: God’s Deliverer

        “Moses was taught in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He became a powerful man in words and in the things he did.”  Acts 7:22 NLV

       Baby Moses’ faint cry touched the heart of Pharaoh’s daughter. His sister Miriam, was watching Moses float on the Nile River from a safe distance with a God inspired plan.  In this unusual motherly way, God ultimately preserved Moses and a nation from being killed off by Pharaoh

Read Exodus 2:1-10           Amram: father,  Jochebed: mother,  Miriam: sister,  Pharaoh’s daughter

God’s Grand Plan:  Jochebed is being paid to raise her own son; but she only has a limited time to teach him the Jewish ways.  We also have our children but for a season- time then, is important

*  now in bondage as slaves, God’s chosen people needed a deliverer

*  the Egyptian midwives were instructed to kill all Jewish baby boys

            Genesis 15:13,14  Abraham knew of God’s plan of preservation

*  it’s been nearly 400 years since Abraham, Isaac,  and Jacob

*  God’s delays are not denials-  He promised a deliverer to His people

            Titus 1:1-3  our deliverer also came as a baby

*  Amram and Jochebed must have had mixed emotions with a boy

*  the Nile River contained crocodiles and other bad things !

*  today the devil uses subtle and sinister ways to attack our children

*  music, movies, tv, video games, books, advertising and personalities

*  Godly mother’s today, are also concerned for their children’s welfare

            Deuteronomy 6:4-7  it is a 24 / 7 job to protect and teach

*  today, the notion of sheltering and nurturing is a bad thing-

*  eventually they’re going to be exposed to it,  so what’s the use

*  we can not allow ungodliness to enter under our roofs

*  almost every situation contains a Godly teaching opportunity

*  Jesus said,  “be in this world, but not of this world”
