The Mothers of Moses

Exodus 1 & 2

This Mother’s Day, whether you are mothering your own children, raising someone else’s children, or simply speaking up for the rights of children, we honor you today.

Moses had women in his life who weren’t his mother, but have a heart for children.

• The Advocative Mom
  
  • The Hebrew Midwives: Shiphrah and Puah
  • Life over Law
    
    • The value of life. Inside and outside the womb.
  • We need women who will fight for their babies, who aren’t their own. These women risked their lives for the lives of these babies.
  • Moses had women fighting for his life and freedom before he was even born.
• The Biological Mom
  
  • Jochebed
  • She had such incredible faith in the Lord to make a way for her baby. Mom’s we need to start having more faith that God will work in our children’s lives, when we honor Him with their raising.
  • Jochebed raised up some spiritual WARRIORS!
    
    • We need more mommas who will raise up their babies to make an impact for the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • The trust, the wisdom, and the understanding to take Moses back to Pharaoh’s daughter.
• The Adoptive Mom
  
  • The Daughter of Pharaoh
  • There’s a need all of our planet for women who are willing to raise babies in need.
  • Pharaoh’s daughter saw a life in need, and was willing to take that baby in, raise him as her own, and risk her life in doing so.
  • There’s 24 babies an HOUR who enter foster care in the United States alone! That’s 207,000 a year!
  • There is a need for women who have a heart for babies.

Moses: HE WHO DRAWS OUT

Moses couldn’t have been who he was without these women in his life. Moses needed more than just a mother. Moses needed women who had a heart for children.

In the story of Moses, God used these four women to bring him into this world, raise him, protect him, and set him up for spiritual success.

How will God use YOU in the life of a child?
