—Exodus 2:1-10
by: Gabriela Alonzo.
There is a difference between a parent whose basis for parenting is, “There is nothing I wouldn’t do for my child,” and, “I am putting my child in God’s hands.” The former is dependent on human ability while the latter possesses a faith rooted in divine ability. In the beginning of Moses’ story, we see a mother who was born and raised as a slave, and whose children were also slaves. Now she knew that by Pharaoh’s order, her baby would be put to death. Though she could not save her children from harm, she placed her trust in God to save Moses. We see, in his story, the product of a mother’s faith in God.
