Daily Fountain Devotional 27 March 2022 STUDY:
Every fourth Sunday in Lent, the Church celebrates the gift of Mothers. Motherhood is a privilege as well as a calling from God. Characteristically, a Christian mother’s love for her children and family is expected to be selfless, unconditional and sacrificial. In today’s text, Jochebed (Ex. 6:20) displays such love for her son, Moses, born after Pharaoh’s instruction for all male Hebrew children to be thrown into the Nile (Ex. 1:22).
In love, Jochebed took a high risk and hid Moses at home for three months. When it became impossible to hide him, she put him in a basket and placed it by the river bank. Divine providence made Pharaoh’s daughter to find him, and accepted Miriam’s suggestion to get a Hebrew nurse for the baby.
Jochebed was contracted to take care of her own son, whom she nursed until he grew up and was taken to Pharoah’s daughter who adopted him as her son. Though Moses lived in the Egyptian palace, he remained true to the faith of the Hebrews.
What Moses grew up to be known for, underscores the need for Christian mothers to do all within their means to raise their children in the faith; this includes discipline in all spheres of life. Christian mothers should take cognisance of the fact that the early years of a child are very crucial, so they should spend more time to raise their children in godliness (Prov. 22:6; Isaiah 49:15).
PRAYER: Thank you Father for the gift of motherhood. Give your grace to all Christian mothers to be more effective and alive to their calling and responsibilities in these times. Amen.
