Exodus 2: 1-10 1 Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. 5 Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said. 7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?" 8 "Yes, go," she answered. And the girl went and got the baby's mother. 9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you." So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water."
Looking at verse e, it should you remind that when you under God's covering he hides us and protects us from the hand of the enemy. He hides us until he knows that we are ready to deal with the struggles of the world, but first you have to been up your strength in Him, your faith.
But at some point he let you veer into the land of the lost, the world. But it is a blessing to know that even when we are in the world, God will send a vessel in the form man (woman), to rescue us. But when you look at verse 6, you should notice that when God sent his vessel in the form of the slave girl, the baby was crying. Only when you are vulnerable and are limited to crying out for help, will God send someone to your rescue. Because the verse says that because the baby was crying, the girl felt sorry for him. Although he was distraught, she was determined. He cried, but she was courageous. He was lost, but she could take the lead. He was alone, but she was on assignment.
What happens as a result of the tears is that the child is comforted and nurtured until maturity as seen in verse 9 and 10. Think about that. When you stay under God's covering, He will comfort and nurture you until you are mature enough to deal with the next situation. But what happens when we remove ourselves from the covering before maturation? Disaster, which leaves you to return back to God with the same situation.
