S – Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the boy and nursed him. ¹⁰ When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.” 

Exodus 2:9–10 CSB

O – Twice in this chapter, Moses’ mother has to make a difficult decision – trust her child to God’s will.  Earlier, she put him in a basket hoping for mercy that he wouldn’t be killed. She released him into the river with no assurance.  Here, he is released to be someone else’s son and raised in their ways.  As a parent, this is amazing faith.

A – Parents need to do their part in raising their kids and invite God to do his part as well.  Love takes on many different applications.  We need to listen to the Holy Spirit in the journey.

R – Lord, even as my children are grown, Kristin and I are still their parents.  Help us to hear your voice in how to love and lead them at this stage.  Let our parenting, strengthen their faith and love in you.
