When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he
became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the
water.” Exodus 2:10 | NIV
Moses' mother reached the end of her ability to keeping her son who
was marked, by the cruel law of an evil king, for death. In her despair,
she did what faith inspired, and I believe that at that moment, in her
desperation to save her son's life, the story of how God saved Noah
through the ark may have come to here mind, and so she made something in
the form of an ark and lowered it on the water and left the question of
her son's destiny in the hands of God.
Left with God on a flowing river, the daughter of pharaoh saw him in
the ark, took him, and named him Moses, which means, drawn out of the
water. How profound! But the amazing thing about this story did not stop
with how God orchestrated the meeting of the boy with the daughter of
pharaoh, it goes on with the boy being raised and trained in the house
of the man that wanted him dead. This is how a sovereign God works. The
beautiful thing is that what was done for Moses can still be done for
anyone who stays in the place of faith like the mother of Moses.
I am not sure on what water your life may be tossed on at this time,
be couraged in the fact that God is still in the business of drawing
people out of the water and taking them to where He has destined for
them. The water, no matter how deep and fast flowing, is in the power of
God and will serve His purpose for your life. He that drew Moses out of
the water and brought him to the king's palace knows what water you are
upon at this point in your life and is able to coast you to safety.
