The Grands Letter (Exo/GLJ)

Dear Grands,
Exodus 2:1-8, “Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi. 2 The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him. 5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her.
6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?”
8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Go ahead.’ So, the girl went and called the child’s mother.
This is a much longer-than-usual text, but it is necessary to demonstrate the LORD’s ultimate plan for Moses — to say nothing of His use of Moses’ sister and mother. The plan was the LORD’s; however, He utilized Moses’ family members in the process.
He has a plan for each of us. We must, however, divest ourselves of our ideas and be willing to yield to His plan. Just how difficult do we think His plans are? You’d be surprised! And with His “assistance,” things will go amazingly well. Give Him the opportunity to show you!
Heartily in Christ,
