Scripture:  Exodus (NIV) 1:22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” Exodus (NIV) 2:3 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.

Observation:   Pharaoh said to throw them in the Nile to destroy them.  Moses mother put him in the Nile to save him.  Many times we can see that God uses the very thing meant for our harm to bring our salvation.

Application:   I must always walk in faith.  God is able to take what is meant for my harm to be used for my good.

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, help me remember that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. (1John 4:4) Amen
