An ark of bulrushes (1)

Pharaoh commanded , Every son who is born you shall cast into the river.

When she (Moses' mother) could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river bank.

Exodus 1: 22; 2: 3.

An ark of bulrushes (1)
Let us remember the extraordinary story of Moses, right at the beginning of his life in ancient Egypt. The Hebrews were slaves there, and though they were treated harshly, their numbers increased. Seeing a threat, Pharaoh decided that every boy born to them should be thrown into the river.

In one family a small boy was growing up. His mother refused to carry out the murderous order and hid the child as long as was possible. She then prepared an ark of bulrushes, covering it with asphalt and pitch to make it waterproof. She laid her precious baby in it and placed it on the river bank. What more could she do? She did all that was in her power intelligently. Anxious parents can do no more than confide their child to God's power and mercy and trust Him. God's answer surpassed their hopes. Pharaoh's daughter, who was bathing in the river, discovered the child, picked it up and was even led by divine providence to choose the baby's mother as its nurse!

This biblical account is rich in instruction for all Christian parents today. They watch anxiously over their young children, but the time comes when they have to go out into a world full of danger. What resource is there for such parents who have reason enough for their worry?

(to be concluded tomorrow)

Today‘s reading: Deuteronomy 22: 1 - 29 · Galatians 1: 10 - 24

When You Have A Vision

I was not disobedient to the vision.' Acts 26:19 NIV

When God gives you a vision for your life, you need to know how to:

(1) Hold it. Your vision is governed by a time frame: If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.' (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT) Some of us can...More

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (113)

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honour.
John 12:25.26.
