This is the story of Moses' mother, the very sensitive woman, the bible tells the story of the Birth of Moses in the light of his mother, at the time Pharaoh was killing all the new born male children of the Hebrew. (Exodus 2:1-10).
'Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket[a] 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.
Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to
bathe, and her attendants were walking along the
riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.
Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”
“Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So
the woman took the baby and nursed him. When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”
Thank God for Moses' mother, a mother has to be sensitive to the calling and destiny of her child. It is very important for women to know the plans of God for every child they carry in their womb so as to be able to help the child fulfil destiny. It was wisdom that
made her to keep him and later she was paid to nurse her own child, if Moses' mother had given away her son to be killed by Pharaoh, then who would have brought the israelite out of Egypt (Exodus 13/14).
As mothers and mothers-to-be, it is not to early to pray for our unborn children and it is not too late to pray for the Children we have already given birth to. Ask God to open our eyes to see his plans for our children and to help us lead them to where their destiny will be fulfilled.
