Exodus 2:10
10 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
Anxiety wrecks so many lives. Fear can lead to panic as we worry over what tomorrow will bring. When we read Scripture, God commands us not to worry, but how? We get lots of advice that will never work. Closing our eyes and breathing or pumping ourselves up with positivity won’t hold up for the long haul.
We need to see the God who has all things under His absolute control. Moses was called Moses because it means “to draw out”. As Moses was pulled out of the water of the Nile, so God would use Moses to draw His people Israel out of the misery and death of slavery in Egypt. God proved His sovereign control by using Moses’ salvation as a baby to show what God would do for the whole nation of Israel. God knew exactly what He was doing when the salvation of Israel showed in miniature what He would do for the whole world through Jesus. Look to your Father and let your worry go.
Prayer prompt: Lord, teach me to remember the way you saved me so I will trust that you still love me.
