Not only did Jochabed come up with a plan to save Moses from the evil intentions of the king, but she also got the opportunity to be his nurse for Pharoah’s daughter. I know that when I was feeding my infants, I did talk to them, pray for them and dream dreams with them of what their future would be like. It’s hard not to imagine that Jochabed did likewise, especially knowing that her time with her son was limited and would end when he was weaned. It’s amazing to me that Moses was put into the water, saved from the water by Pharoah’s daughter and then ended up leading the entire Israelite nation across water that God parted. What a big part that water played in his life! But his mother who had the God-inspired idea to save his life played the biggest role of all. Without Jochabed, there would have been no Moses, or at least not the one we know about from the Scriptures.

God uses His people to work out His plan but we have to be listening in order to hear what He is telling us to do. In our busy lives, we need to set aside time to just listen and be aware that God has a plan–for the world and for us individually, too. Sometimes we go with the plan and sometimes we fight it, but whatever we do, God still has a plan and we need to trust Him.
