How Your Faith Effects Others

Jewish tradition indicates that while Moses was still in the womb, Miriam’s father pleaded with the Lord to rescue the Hebrew people from the oppression they suffered in Egypt. According to Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, God answered those prayers by appearing to Amram in a dream and promising that his newborn son would grow up to deliver all the Israelites from their bondage. The biblical record does not include those details, but Hebrews 11:23 does highlight the faith that characterized Amram and Jochebed: “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the kin g’s command.”

Because they trusted the Lord, Moses’ parents refused to obey Pharaoh’s merciless decree. They managed to keep their son’s birth a secret, and they were determined to keep him hidden for as long as they could.

You are familiar with Moses' story to lead the Hebrews out of captivity. Moses' grandpaw had faith that God would rescue his people.
