The flavor of faith

Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to be here with you.


Let us continue to read from the book of Exodus, where we will read about Moses’ life. He was only a baby when we spoke about him on Monday, and we saw what his mother, Jochebed, did.

We will continue with this story and see what happened after his mother did what she did to save him:

“And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden 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. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.” (Exodus 2: 4-10)

You see here how God provides? This is the flavor of faith!

On Monday we talked about the burdens we carry when we are attached to something and how that woman, Jochebed, Moses’ mother, hide him for three months, and then left him by the river, and how not once did she confront or murmur against God by saying, “Why did the Lord allowed this to happen? We are your people part of your inheritance, so why are you killing our children? How can that be, God? “She did not murmur against God, but rather acted in an intelligent way. And her daughter saw her mother’s faith and therefore accompanied the boy to see where the river would take him. She observed him from a distance and waited to see what would happen.

When you believe in God, you act differently and you do not take into account the circumstances.

See that the girl, her daughter, also took a ration action by watching what would happen from afar.
Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

Then came the sister of Moses, “You want me to go get one of the Hebrew serving of love and make you a child?

Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden 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… ”

Look at the flavor of faith!

 

When we are attached to things that weigh us down we are tormented by them, but when let go of them and let God take the necessary steps and let Him do what should be done, from experience, I tell you: it is the best thing to do!

God knows how to work. We do not know how to act correctly, so when we leave it in His hands, knowing that He is able to do it, it is because we know Him, and that way we are expressing our faith!

 

I do not know if you trust in God, because maybe you talk with Him, but then after you profess negative words. But, when there is a true belief, a trust and when you know who God is you are at peace!

If you feel tormented by the given circumstances, then they are literally guiding you, and this does not solve anything. However, when you have the certainly you take the measures and initiatives that are necessary!

 

That woman lived an experience no other mothers did at that time, because both God and the Holy Spirit, are submitted to our spirit. When our faith, belief, and life with God are defined, I have observed that He works with what we make available to Him. If I do not dominate my will I usually will hold on to what I’m afraid of losing, but when I allow God to take control of that problem and place it in His hands, that burden is placed in the “river,” God sees my faith and restores my joy through a miracle. Look what God did! Moses’ own mother raised him until he was grown and no longer needed to be breastfed, unlike all the other mothers.

 

When the child grew, she gave him back to the Pharaoh’s daughter. Once again the mother submitted herself so the daughter of Pharaoh, who called him Moses, the great Moses, whom we will follow in the upcoming days, could raise her son.

 

In order for Moses, David, a man and woman of God to exist, there were choices made and ones that made the difference! Either you surrender yourself 100% or hold something back. And the more you hold back the heavier, sadder, and more involved with this egocentric world you will become. But when you let go of what belongs to you or fear, it is impossible for God not to manifest His power.

 

See that Pharaoh’s daughter had nothing to do with God, but she was touched by faith!

 

Faith is what justifies you, and if you do not use it you will continue to suffer as those who are living the same circumstances you are. Be rational, use an intelligent faith, which has nothing to do with feelings, but rather using your head, and that solves the issue at hand.

 

We will be back on Friday reading more on the Book of Exodus. Leave your comment here and let me know more about you!
