Amram and Jochebed were so happy seeing the goodly child God gave them..They didn't even have time to name the child...The order in the land by Pharoah was to kill every male child..by drowning them in the River Nile..3months passed by..Jochebed couldn't contain it anymore..The neighbours may leak the news as their children must also have been a prey to pharoah's cruel order.The safest place she saw was Nile.If you look at Nile you can see many dead bodies of new born baby boys floating.Jochebed..she must have understood that.What else to do....She had tears just as every mama had!!
No one thing she did..
she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.Nile is a safe place if the BABY is in that basket coated with tar and pitch.Dead bodies may be around..fear may grip,but the Baby will be safe in that basket Jochebed made..its that basket which the Pharaoh's daughter saw!!She must have seen many other babies..but the baby in the basket was special.
What is that issue the devil has targeted in your life..that goodly thing..Is it your education,or your job, your family,your finance..
Then come on be a jochebed,place that issue in that basket of prayers coated with the word of God and the blessed Spirit.GOD is faithful to bring up a MOSES in the very place the enemy issued an order to kill you..
"have we trials and temptations
is there trouble anywhere
we should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer"
