—Exodus 2:1-10
by: J. Gabriel Alegre.
Moses was not born into an ideal world under ideal circumstances. Instead, harsh oppression, slavery, servitude, and an edict of death to all male babies made the arrival of this newborn anything but a joyous occasion. God, however, had plans that would bring joy. It is often difficult to see God at work when situations and circumstance overwhelm us. How difficult it would have been for Moses’ parents to make the hard decision to let Moses go. In Romans 8:28, Paul reminds us that all things work together for good to those who love God. God is always in control, even under the most dire of circumstances.
