Ark of Salvation for Moses
Exodus 2: And a man of the house of Levi went and
took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So
the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a
beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But
when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him,
daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in
the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his
sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
============
Moses begins his autobiography with the words given to him
by GOD. He starts of with the tribe he is from. He then talks about his
salvation:
My Observations:
- Moses
was from the Tribe of Levi, which would later become the Levitical
Priests.
- Amram
is Moses’ father and Jochebed is his mother who made an ark to save Moses
from being killed.
- Miriam
is Moses’ sister who watched over him to make sure he was safe.
GOD made an ark to save Noah and his family. HE wanted to
save the world by saving one family. GOD did the same for Moses. An ark was
built by his mother to save him from being found. She had no idea what would
happen to him, but I am sure she prayed to GOD about this.
The midwives were followers of GOD and so was his mother.
They would not obey Pharaoh’s order to kill all males because they feared the
LORD. Jochebed was no exception. She feared the LORD and wanted to protect her
son. Miriam followed GOD as well. GOD placed two women in Moses life who would
pray and watch over HIM.
Challenge
- Why
did GOD inspire Moses to write his autobiography, starting with his tribe
and his ark ride?
- Has
there ever been a time in your life that you knew you were being watched
over?
- What
is your ark of salvation that sustained you from trouble?
