A moses basket

from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins

Today I saw a picture of the weave of a basket, bringing to mind Moses being laid in a basket at the age of 3 months by his mother and sent to float down the River Nile to escape certain death or slavery. The Pharaoh of Egypt was oppressing the people of God as they were flourishing and he was fearful that they could overthrow him. So, it is amazing that the Pharaoh's daughter wanted to keep a Hebrew baby. Moses's older sister who had been watching from a distance her baby brother being found, said she knew a lady available to help nurse and bring up the baby. The suggestion was accepted. The lady she suggested was Moses's mother! (Exodus 2). Moses then lived to 120 years old! (Deuteronomy 34:7). He suffered times of great testing but God used him mightily to save His people from the Egyptian slavery and oppression. On the face of it, needing to let go of one's 3 month old baby, oppression, threat of death etc were dire conditions and yet in God's hand all the situations were transformed into good.
