How the Lord really bless Moses, even when he is a baby?

Exodus 2:1 – 10

1. Moses is a fine child. Some translation says beautiful

2. Moses’s mother managed to hide him for the first 3 months without getting caught

3. It is someone special who found Moses.
- Pharaoh’s daughter
- Pharaoh’s daughter have to be bathing at that exact time. Right place, right time
- She has to feel sorry for Moses
- She did not kill the baby despite knowing that he is a Hebrew baby

4. They found Moses’ mother as the Hebrew mother to nurse Moses. Now, Moses’ mother is paid to raise Moses. Tragedy to blessing. Amazing!  Never lose hope even when the cards are down.

5. Moses was blessed to be the Pharoah’s son. He is so blessed as illustrated in the below commentary.

Being the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter, Moses was in the royal family. The ancient Jewish historian Josephus says Moses was heir to the throne of Egypt and that while a young man, Moses lead the armies of Egypt in victorious battle against the Ethiopians. Certainly, he was raised with both the science and learning of Egypt. Acts 7:22 says, Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds. Egypt was one of the most academic and scientific societies on the earth at that time. It is reasonable to think that Moses was instructed in geography, history, grammar, writing, literature, philosophy, and music.


Learning Lesson
If the Lord is your backer, he will really take care of you. Even when tragedy strike, no worries. God will still change it to a blessing. I can recall some ex in my life:
i) Daddy died - My whole family turned to the Lord
ii) Wallet lost - My faith is strengthened as the Lord answers my prayer

God is amazing. Just let him take care of you. No need to worry. He has a great plan for us. Just enjoy life. Be joyful and be in cruise control. God is real and he loves us. I am so blessed!!!
