A new king arose over Egypt. Times were changing for the Israelites, God’s people. As they grew in number and might the new king decreed that all male babies born are to be killed at birth.
But God had a different plan. . .
Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him.

Jochebed. Brave. Sacrificial. Loving.
🌹Jochebed put the safety of her child before her own desires and needs. God blessed her, allowing her to keep Moses until he was weaned. Because of her bravery, love, and sacrifice, Moses grew to be a blessed servant of God.
