Parashat Shemot
This portion is about hope in the midst of growing darkness that God raises up a redeemer. God is working in all things, has them all in his hand, and is preparing to bring about a momentous deliverance!
The preservation of Moses’ life was a miracle that took place because Pharaoh’s daughter had compassion on him and was willing to reach for that which was beyond her.
What caused her to risk so much? God’s hand was upon her. God had raised her up for such a time as this, to act in compassion and selflessness, to believe that her efforts, though daunting and foolish in the eyes of man could do some good even in the midst of great darkness.
Today, America is facing a time of darkness. We need to look beyond our limitations and situations and see there is yet hope because God is a great deliverer! And we need to reach for the miracle even though everything in the material world would suggest it is impossible at this point.
While it looks everything is out of control, behind the scenes there is a God who has not surrendered authority.”
