Known to God from eternity are all His works. Acts 15:18

Long ago, a little boy was born in Egypt. He had an older brother and sister.  The family belonged to the Hebrew race, a nation that had become slaves in Egypt. So many Hebrew children were being born that the king of Egypt ordered that all Hebrew baby boys were to be killed. Wasn't that a horrible law?

This little boy wasn't killed. Instead, his parents hid him until he was three months old. Then they made a little boat out of a baby's basket and left their son by the riverside with his older sister standing close by to see what would happen.

Can you imagine what happened? The king's daughter - the child of the king who made such a cruel law - came to bathe. When she found the baby she decided to adopt him. And she gave him a name. The baby's new name was Moses.

God did many wonderful things through Moses' life. But wasn't it great that even before Moses knew God, God was watching out for him there at the river bank? God had work for Moses to do! You can read Moses' life story in the first five books of the Bible. The God who cared for Moses cares for you too and has a plan for your life.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are Lord over all. Amen.
