July 13 Introduction A baby boy is born to a Hebrew couple who keep their child hidden for three months. The baby is then placed in a basket by the edge of the river where he is discovered by the king’s daughter who adopts him and names him Moses. As an adult, Moses witnesses the harsh treatment of the Hebrew people at the hands of the Egyptians. He kills an Egyptian and flees to Midian. The chapter concludes with Moses’s marriage to Zipporah and the birth of their son. Scripture Reading Exodus 2:1-25 Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 2:23b, 24 Their cry went up to God, who heard their groaning and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Reflect How did Moses get his name? What advice did Moses’s sister give the princess? Put yourself in the place of Moses’s mother. What are your thoughts regarding the decisions she made to save her child? How can children who are at risk today be protected? Describe what happened to Moses when he arrived in Midian. Pray Loving God, you hear us when we cry out to you. In your mercy, reach down and comfort those who are oppressed in any way and open my eyes and heart to those who are hurting and in need. Amen.
