We will look at some of the lessons learned from the book of Exodus.  The first thing that we see is that God miraculously spared Moses when he was a baby.  We could say that his mother did this, but I believe that it was the work of God.  We know that Moses' sister Miriam played a big part in his being placed in a better situation.  She had kept an eye on Moses to see what was going to happen to him and was instrumental in having his mother being placed in charge of his upbringing.  God works through both males and females to accomplish His will, then and today.  Just as Moses could not have been spared without God being behind the situation, we today cannot be saved except through accepting the  sacrifice of Christ on the cross.  We know that Pharaoh ordered the killing of the boy babies because he was afraid that the people of Israel would become to great, and there are people today who would like to kill those who are Christians because they are afraid that we will become to great.  We also know that today many unborn babies are killed before they are born simply because they are seen as an inconvenience, which is even worse than what Pharaoh was doing.  Then, we see that Moses grew up in the household of the Pharaoh, with all the benefits that this brought, but he still knew that he was an Israelite.  I am not sure if this was because of the influence of his mother or not, but as we will see later, he knew.  No matter how rich we may be materially today, in order to claim salvation, we must identify as a part of the kingdom of God.  This can only come through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Hopefully, our mothers and fathers will point us to Christ.  Having grown up with the riches of the Pharaoh, Moses still knew that he was an Israelite.  We must never allow the riches of the world to keep us from coming to God, and when we do, we can never allow the riches of the world keep us from identifying as followers of Christ.
