Trust for impossible situations.



Exodus 2:2–3

When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, 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.

Moses' parents faced an impossible situation — Pharaoh wanted the child dead. In the middle of a dark world, they trusted God.

When you see darkness in the world around you, it's frustrating when you don't know what God is doing. But here's the truth: God had a plan she couldn't see. That basket would carry the deliverer of Israel... Moses.

Do what you can. Trust God with what you can't. He's working even when you can't see it.

What situation feels "impossible" for you right now? How might you bring it to God in prayer?

Exodus 1:16–17 Pharaoh said... “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth... if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
