Wednesday, February 22, 2023 at 9:18AM The Faith of Moses' Parents
Today is February 22, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
In the hiding of Moses from Pharaoh's edict, Moses' parents showed a courageous faith. I mean, the threat of physical punishment was real. Moses' parents could have been imprisoned or tortured or killed.
However, similar to the veins of Apostle Peter who said 'We must obey God rather than human beings!', Moses' parents chose to act in faith despite the fear of man. And that example is incredibly important for us today.
While we may not face physical threats to our faith, we do faith psychological threats. To be judged or stared at. To not receive thumbs up or upvotes or hearts or likes. To receive mockery or disgust or disappointment. The psychological fear of man is real and it can scare us into not acting in faith.
As Christians we called to be a light, to be witnesses, to go and make disciples. Sharing the gospel is more than just a command or a duty that we are to do, gratitude should prompt that action.
However, the fear of man can silence us. This is why Moses' parents were commended for their faith. They showed a courageous faith that acted despite the fear of man and, ultimately, that is the faith we need to have and the faith we need to pass forward.
God's blessing as you mediate on Moses' parents act of faith, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
