The Upper Room 11 November 2022 Devotional for Friday Message || The Story of Moses
Read The Upper Room 11 November 2022 Devotional Message by B’Kolly (Lagos, Nigeria)
TOPIC: The Story of Moses
TODAY’S READING
Exodus 2:1-10
After the child had grown up, [Moses’ mother] brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her son. She named him Moses, “because,” she said, “I pulled him out of the water.” – Exodus 2:10 (CEB)
The story of Moses reminds me of God’s grace and care. I am particularly moved by the way God saved Moses from death according to Pharaoh’s decree, keeping him in the Nile River until he was spotted and rescued by Pharaoh’s daughter. What an unlikely outcome that Pharaoh’s daughter would put aside her father’s decree, ask Moses’ mother to nurse him, and then raise Moses as her son! The appearance of Pharaoh’s daughter and her discovery of the baby were not mere coincidences; they were acts of God, part of an amazing plan to save Moses.
Moses’ story encourages us to think of all the acts of God in our own lives. It invites us to ponder how we show appreciation for God’s saving grace upon our lives and the lives of our loved ones. How do we explain God’s love for us and God’s work of salvation through Jesus Christ? The amazing acts of God are limitless.
We could never number the blessings God has provided for us. But we can trust that just as God offered grace to Moses, God will surely help and keep us.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for your love and saving grace. May we never take your presence with us for granted. Amen.
