Children come into the world and parents have the responsibility to care for them. Some say it takes a village to raise them, but the village usually fails without the parents. There is something about the way God ordained the family that has to be taken into consideration.
Case in point is the early days of the life of Moses as it is recorded in Exodus. The law of the land was that Hebrew babies had to be thrown into the Nile River. The day came when it was Moses’ turn. His mother who knew about God’s guiding hand placed him in an ark in the river. Then she had his sister watch from a hiding place to see what would happen. You know the rest of the story.
The Faith of Moses
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.
Exodus 2:1-3
But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
We are bringing children into a dangerous world. Faithful parents who believe in the invisible hand of God and act accordingly are critical.
Think about it.
