Moses' mother: Her faith

Hebrews 11:35

“Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.” NIV

There are some women in the Bible from whom we can also learn the faith walk or principles of faith. In the chapter from which our text was taken only Sarah was mentioned by name, so we want to dig out the nameless heroines and learn faith from them.

“And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.” Exodus 2 : 1-3 KJV

This story is about Moses’ mother. When she gave birth to Moses, the Bible says she saw that he was a goodly child, so she hid him for three months.

So the first thing was that she saw something about the child that was not seen by everybody. For you to step out in faith, you must be able to see something everybody is not seeing. 

Oral Roberts says for you to do the impossible, you must see the invisible. It takes faith to see the invisible. Moses’ mother through the eye of faith saw something about the child which propelled her to risk her life and the lives of all her family in hiding the baby for three months. Faith is a risk but for anyone to take such risk of faith, you must see something beyond what everybody around you is seeing.

Today, can you see beyond the surface, beyond the natural? Can you see what others are not seeing? When all the other spies saw giants in the land and themselves as grasshoppers before the inhabitants, Caleb saw the same people as bread whose defenses were departed from them. The Bible described Caleb as having another spirit within him. Guess what it was? It was a spirit of faith. See the invisible today and do the impossible.
