A basket in the reeds

A boat made from papyrus reeds, out on the river.
A boat made from papyrus reeds, out on the river.

Read

But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in the basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.

Exodus 2:3 (BSB)

Think

A cruel king wanted the Hebrew baby boys gone. Moses’ mother hid him in a little basket among the reeds, and God kept him safe. Many years later another cruel king, Herod, tried to harm baby Jesus, and God kept Him safe too.

Talk about it

How did God protect baby Moses?

Pray

Thank You, God, for keeping me safe.
