What is ...But God?

A weekday morning devotional series written by Aaron Marcarelli and hosted by Chad McBeam

“By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
Hebrews 11:23-24 NASB2020
God is so awesome. I love what He reveals to us through scripture.

“And the woman conceived and gave birth to a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put the child in it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.”
Exodus 2:2-3 NASB2020

What Moses’s mother did was against the law of the land. Moses mother broke the law of Egypt to follow the laws of God. Yet putting her child in that basket, hoping and praying things would turn out well must have been heart wrenching. But God, orchestrated the situation because he had a plan for Moses life. Pharaoh’s daughter found the little baby Moses. Not only did she save him but…
“Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a woman for you who is nursing from the Hebrew women, so that she may nurse the child for you?” Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.”
Exodus 2:7-9 NASB2020
Moses was supposed to be thrown into the Nile and killed yet, God made it so Moses’s mother got to nurse her baby and get paid to do it, in the house of Pharaoh. Talk about blessings upon blessings upon blessings.
It is obvious that Moses’s mother listened to God and did the will of her Heavenly Father.
God calls us to Shema. “To love the Lord your God with All your heart, soul, mind and strength”. All the other commands of God can be traced back to Shema. Jesus says “The foremost is, ‘Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31 NASB2020
It is clear even before God gives the Shema to Moses, his mother was following the Shema.
Let’s love God. We love God and our neighbors by being in the scripture, by praying to him, by sharing His love and our provisions with others, by breaking bread with others. God will do the rest!
Lord thank you for giving us your word. Help us to truly follow Shema. Not because of the blessings upon blessings that have been bestowed, that are being bestowed and will be bestowed, but because it is what you have called us to do. We thank you for the redeeming love of Christ and His death, and resurrection, so that we may have eternal life with you in your incredible kingdom. We pray all these things in Jesus Name Amen…
Shalom Blessings and Press In and Press On!
