Always remember, you are not alone Jesus is standing right by your side. We should never give up we need to ask the LORD God give us strength to overcome tough times. She is a good example to us when we get frustrated by the evil in our world, not knowing what to do to overcome these frustrations. The faith that Moses’ mother showed in the LORD God was stronger than her fear of the Egyptian Pharaoh. The mother of Moses showed great faith in the LORD God by placing baby Moses in a basket along the edge of the Nile. When Pharaoh heard this, he ordered that Moses must be killed! Moses however, fled Egypt to the land of Midian and sat down by a well. This made him lose his temper and beat one of the Egyptians”taskmasters” to death and he hid him in the sand. One day Moses saw old men and children being whipped and beaten by the Egyptians to work harder. He was angry at the cruelty and the brutality with which his people were treated. Moses looked at his brothers and the troubles they had to live under. When Moses grew up, he found out that he was an Israelite. The baby whom the princess named Moses lived in the palace and was treated as if he were her son. The mother was very happy and grateful to God because she was going to be close to her child. The princess agreed, and Miriam went to fetch her mother. Just before the princess left, the baby’s sister, Miriam, who was hiding in the bushes, came out of the bushes and asked the princess “Shall I go and bring a Hebrew woman to take care of the baby for you?” She decided to take the adorable baby and raise him as her own. When the princess of Egypt came to the bank of the River Nile she found the baby in the cradle and realized that he was a Hebrew child. She decided to leave him on the bank of the River Nile where the king’s daughter comes to bathe. The baby was growing and his mother could not keep on hiding him anymore. When the baby brother was born, his mother hid him to save his life. There was a man and his wife who had three children, Aaron, Miriam, and their baby brother. The Israelites who are descendants of Jacob lived in Egypt. Then she kissed her baby and set his basket afloat in the reeds along the Nile River. So she wove a sturdy basket in the shape of a tiny boat, and covered the outside with pitch and tar to make it watertight. One Hebrew mother could not bear to drown her beautiful baby boy. So Pharaoh ordered that every new born Israelite baby boy be thrown into the Nile River. ![]() Pharaoh was like the king and was afraid that one day the large number of Children of Israel would turn against him. The children of Israel were living in Egypt and under the rule of the Pharaoh. The story does not end with Moses being a baby but will continue on with other lessons requiring faith, commitment and dedication to the LORD God. ![]() The story of Baby Moses teaches about being chosen, protected, and loved by the LORD God.
