Exodus 1,2,3 The Call of Moses
The call of Moses is foundational. God calls each of us into the priesthood of all believers. These first chapters of Exodus outline the birth and call of the great Mo-sayes, leader of the Hebrew people to a new life. We find strength and hope in this narrative.
The faith of a mother who, in a desperate attempt to save his life, would put her child in a basket and push him off into the flow of the mighty Nile, instructs us into a new path, a new reality for out lives. She could not know the outcome. She had to trust God, fully trust God, only trust God.
We may understand ourselves as the one in the basket, the one on the shore weeping for her child, the sister running the shore to maintain contact, or even Pharaoh’s daughter who draws the baby from the Nile against the wishes of her father. Whatever our place, a willingness to listen to God and then act with faith is our path to moving us all just a little closer to home.
