Moses - a child in the bushes

Last week we looked at the story of Moses being placed in a basket as a child, as one mother tried to protect her son from the dangers that threatened him. It was a bold decision and a well worked plan that brought Moses into the house of Pharoah, to be raised as one of the family.

It is certainly also a story of love and sacrifce of a parent, giving up her child and risking everything to ensure his safety.

Yet this is only one part of an amazing story that sees God use Moses to bring His people, the children of Israel out of captivity. In many ways it is another story of fatih and cobwebs - God at work even when we don't see Him. God having a bigger picture, whilst we only seem to see one piece at a time.

We were encouraged to be reminded of that truth.
