It really is all about Faith, being our Trust!

Today this morning while I was doing devotion with my girls we were looking at the life of Jochebed, do you know who she is?  Well, I didn't and this captured my attention to learn with my children and come to find out she was the mother of Moses. Now being that I have been ministering about Faith lately being our Trust, her life really hit home for me.  One of the things I discovered was that her and her husband Amram being Moses's father was from the tribe of Levi and if you remember from reading about the Levi's they had a special role with God when it came to Him and His things. So what really ministered to me in a vast way was that not only was Jochebed taught about God and His miracles, participated in the things of God, but that when the rubber really met the road and her faith, being her trust, was tested she walked out that trust in such a mighty way. Therefore, instead of doing what she was commanded to do by Pharaoh to kill her son she instead trusted God and hid him and then sent Him down the river right into the very answer of her prayer being safety and protection for her sons life.  And Wow! When I think about her life my prayer for myself is that I too would have that type of faith when my trust is tested and that I too as a result would be able to see God's all powerful hand as a result of my trust in Him. My thought I am left to ponder over is this, sometimes we don't do anything but complain when our trust is tested but it's then that we can really know where we are with our trust. And so, though yes, we may not always rise to the occasion still. we can trust in this truth being Romans 8:28 which reads: And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Father when my trust is put to the test I pray I too would move in faith being my trust in you to do whatever it is that I am requested or faced to do. In Jesus name I pray!

  1. This story really blessed me, because there comes a time when you have to stand up for what you believe in, and not being pushed with the crowd. When the rubber meets the road will you compromise? Or will you trade it all? I choose to trade it all! Jochebed traded her son instead of allowing him to be in the hands of evil. I finally released my fear of man, and I'm saying to God be the Glory! I know that God is looking for some Daniel's and Jochebed's! When I released my fear and stood up for what I believe in, and not go with the norm. I felt the atmosphere change! I still don't know what will come out of this, but God will get the Glory. My spirit is at peace! Moving in faith! Yes Yes Yes!
