The way God works is interesting. (1)

The infant Moses, who had been placed in a basket

among the reeds by the banks of the Nile River, was only a few months old

and had absolutely no ability to save himself.

Someone had to rescue him, or else it would have been barbaric.

That someone happened to be the daughter of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.

When she went down to the river to bathe and saw the basket among the reeds,

she heard the baby crying inside and took pity on him

(Exodus 2:2-6).

God saved baby Moses through the daughter of Pharaoh,

who had commanded that all Hebrew baby boys be thrown into the river (1:22).

While the father ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be thrown into the river,

his daughter rescued just one of those boys, Moses.

Moses' mother, who sent him away in faith,

eventually ended up being paid wages by Pharaoh's daughter,

the princess of Egypt, as she brought Moses back to raise him

(Exodus 2:2-9).

It's astonishing and grateful enough that her child,

who could have died, was alive, but to be paid for raising him

adds another remarkable dimension.
