God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose

DAY 5: 

Areyou puzzled of the things happening in your life right now?

Maybe you are asking why bad things happen to good people? 

Is that also a question troubling your mind and challenging your faith?

Hope this may help and may inspire you!

In the previous chapter (Exodus 1:22), we learned that Pharaoh made a decree that all male Hebrew babies that will be born be thrown to the Nile river so that they will die! And you know what... this was the time when Moses was born!

Can you relate?

Have you ever tried to ask your parents how you were born or ask what is the condition during that time?

Maybe many were born during unpleasant circumstances... many are asking why they are born poor or why they are born with physical defects or why they are born short or why they are born not so beautiful or not so handsome :)

Seriously...

Maybe even now, are you experiencing sequences of problems , may it be spiritual, financial, health or relationship problems and maybe still living with so much insecurities in your life.

I encourage you not to brag on God, instead sincerely pray/talk to Him and ask God all your whys and ask Him what is His purpose for all of these so that He may enlighten you,may give you direction and may strength you not to only overcome but be victorious!

Now let's go to our scripture of the day to encourage you more...

EXODUS 2:3-8 (NIV)

3 But when she could hide him (baby Moses) 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. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother.9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.10 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.”

Imagine that! Moses was born during the time when all male Hebrew babies were hunted down and being thrown to the Nile river to die that's why his mother was forced to hid him and let him go. Moses on the early days of his life already encountered challenges but God can turn that challenges/circumstances into good and to work according to His great plan! He became a Prince in Egypt, was raised in a Palace and was educated to probably the best university at that time!

I believe He can do the same in our life so let us continue to trust God and continue to trust His plans.

I hope this scripture may encourage you more...
