Day 2: Courage Extended: Moses’ Mother
Welcome: Courage begets courage! Don’t you love it when you see someone else standing up for what’s right? It is so inspiring! Today we will look at how the courage of the midwives extended to one expectant Hebrew mother.
Background: After Pharaoh issued his murderous decree aimed at destroying the Hebrew population boom, the Hebrew midwives courageously banded together to defy the edict, inspiring acts of courage from others, and earning the special favor of God.
Read: Exodus 2:1-4
Highlight: “The woman conceived and bore a son…she hid him three months.”
You? Look around you at the people in your life. Who do you see living a courageous life? Who do you see stepping out in faith even if they aren’t sure what the outcome is going to be? In what situation is God asking you to imitate them and write your own story of courage?
Pray: God, I can have courage when I am following you. Thank you that Moses’ mother had strong courage against the tyranny of Pharaoh’s law. Please give me the courage I need to stand up for you. And may my faith be an inspiration for others around me.
