Moses Preserved by Pharaoh’s Daughter
Exo 2:1-10
When matters had reached their worst in respect to Israel’s condition, God was preparing a deliverer. The child was more than ordinarily beautiful, Act 7:20. His parents hid him by faith, Heb 11:23. Perhaps they had received a special revelation of his great future, on the strength of which they became strong to resist the royal command. They launched the ark, not on the Nile only, but on God’s Providence. He would be captain, steersman, and convoy of the tiny bark. Miriam stood to watch. There was no fear of fatal consequences, only the quiet expectancy that God would do something worthy of Himself. They reckoned on God’s faithfulness, and they were amply rewarded, when the daughter of their greatest foe became the babe’s patroness. See Psa 76:10.
