In yesterday's reading, I'd noted that Pharaoh's order to kill all of the newborn Hebrew males was satanically inspired. In this chapter, through a series of amazing coincidences (I'm smiling because I call the divine appointments) a newborn Hebrew boy incredibly remains hidden from the world for 3 months, Pharaoh's daughter just happens to bathe in the exact spot where the baby is hidden, the baby just happens to cry when Pharaoh's daughter is present, drawing her attention, and the baby's own mother just happens to be hired to nurse the child.
The Hebrews, as slaves, could not possibly have pulled off such a conspiracy. Instead, God was at work, causing all of these divine appointments to happen at just the right time.
I loved what my commentary said: "The devil was foiled by his own weapon, inasmuch as Pharaoh, whom he was using to frustrate the purpose of God, is used of God to nourish and bring up Moses, who was to be His instrument in confounding the power of Satan."
Take that, devil. How do you fail to see that God has your every move for the next thousand years already mapped out and confounded - that He doesn't have to seek to evade you, but instead He uses your moves for His purposes and His glory. You ought to just give up. I know the future - God wins.
Father, it thrills me to know that my God is all-knowing and all-powerful. Nothing that happens is outside Your control. You are never surprised, even at my own sin. And in Your own perfect timing, You continue to orchestrate the confluence of all events as the world moves toward the impending return of Your Son to reign on earth. I'm so glad You are my God!
