Exodus 2

There are two main points I'd like to make from this chapter. The first is that God doesn't care about the same things we do. The second is that even after several hundred years of silence, Moses'mother trusted God.

I'm sure we'd all like to know more about Moses' formative years, but we don't get it from the Bible. In fact, this chapter covers about 80 years of his life. The remaining 40 years or so take up nearly four books of the Bible. The next few minutes have two chapters to themselves. The Bible records what God thinks is important, not us.

What's really amazing is that Moses' mother had such faith when, as far as we know, God hadn't spoken in centuries. Her child would definitely die if the Egyptians found him; he'd probably die if she trusted God. It was a bad choice either way. 

She still chose to entrust him to God.
