Exodus 2:1 says, And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.  This would be a Hebrew couple who got married.  This was still during the time when Hebrew boys were being killed.  In the world today, it is more likely that the daughters would be in danger, since in many places people want to carry on the family name.  Verse two states, And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.  The woman conceived, had a son and saw that he was a good child, but she knew that Pharaoh had ordered his death.  She hid him for three months, but it would have been impossible to hide him forever.  Verse three proclaims, 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.  When his mother could no longer hide him at home, she built a small ark for him and put him in the flags, or reeds, by the rivers bank.  This was better than nothing, but it was not a permanent solution.  People today, both male and female, are born under sin's death sentence spiritually, and we may attempt to find a solution on our own, but it can never be anything but temporary.  Verse four adds, And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.  We are not told how long the woman had been married when the son was born, but she had an older daughter who was curious about what would happen to her brother.  I am sure that the curiosity was born of love and concern for her brother.  We should have that same love and concern for our fellow man today and attempt to see what is happening to them, especially spiritually.  Verse five declares, And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.  Pharaoh's daughter was walking by the flags, or reeds, when she saw the ark that the boy was in.  She had her maid fetch it.  Though Pharaoh's daughter did not actually rescue the boy from the water, she had him rescued.  Though we today cannot rescue anyone spiritually, we can point them to Christ who can.  Verse six adds, And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.  Pharaoh's daughter open the covers and saw that there was a Hebrew baby inside.  Since Pharaoh had ordered all the Hebrew boys be killed, Pharaoh's daughter was not an ideal candidate to rescue the boy, but she had compassion on him.  When we acknowledge that all babies, born or unborn, are human beings worthy of life instead of just some mass of cells as some would have us believe, then it is much more difficult to not have compassion on them.  Verse seven declares, Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?  His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter if she wanted her to get someone to take care of the boy.  This took a lot of courage on the part of  the sister, since she was speaking to someone who would have been considered much above her in social status.  We today must be willing to speak up with the message of salvation to all the people we meet, no matter their social status.  Verse eight states, And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.  The girl's boldness paid off, and she went and got the child's mother to care for her.  This was the best possible outcome in the situation, and when we act boldly for Christ, we can expect the best outcome spiritually.  Even if the people that we witness to do not accept Christ as their Savior and Lord, we have fulfilled our responsibility to God and they have heard the gospel.  This is all we can ever do.  Verse nine adds, And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.  Not only was his mother going to get to care for her son, she was going to get paid to do so.  Now, she wouldn't have to worry about hiding her son, and since Pharaoh's daughter had basically adopted him, she didn't have to worry about anyone else harming him either.  God can and does accomplish His purpose even if He has to use the people of the world to do so.  What we need to acknowledge is that as long as we are doing what God calls us to do, we never have to be afraid that the world will overcome us.  Verse ten concludes, And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.  The child, whom the Pharaoh's daughter named Moses, grew up as the Pharaoh's son.  This was a much better outcome than his mother could have hoped for.  Not only was Moses' life spared, but he grew up in the household of the Pharaoh and she was able to care for him.  When we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord, the outcome when we put our trust in Him will always be much greater than we could hope for.  Instead of a death sentence due to sin, we are given everlasting life as a part of the family of God.
