A Mother's Faith

Exodus 2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

How could she let him go? There was no guarantee that he would be safe. She might never see him again. Uncertainty, that's all she had - or did she have much more? She had been in bondage her entire life. She knew trials. She had learned that when she had done all she could, God could do the rest.

She could have held on to Moses but that would have meant sure death. What faith she had when she pushed that little ark away and put her trust in her God. He blessed her immediately. He blessed us all through the life of Moses. All because of a mother's faith.
