Miriam and Baby Moses

The story of Miriam discovering baby Moses in the river is a classic story of courage, faith, and kindness that still resonates with us today. Many, many generations later, we can gain wisdom in trusting God as we take action to help others. Let’s take a look at three valuable lessons we can learn from this inspiring account of Miriam and Baby Moses.

Lesson 1: Believe in a Higher Purpose

Miriam’s actions showed a strong belief that God had a higher purpose, even in the face of danger.

And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. Exodus 2:4-5

Miriam’s unwavering belief in God’s plan encourages us to trust that things will work out in the end, even when we don’t understand the bigger picture.

Lesson 2: Take Action and Show Kindness

Miriam’s bravery and kindness are evident in her decision to save her baby brother, Moses.

Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, ‘Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?’ And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Go.’ So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. Exodus 2:7-8

Despite the risks involved, Miriam took action and offered a solution. Her actions remind us of the importance of standing up for what is right and helping those in need, even in difficult situations.

Lesson 3: Embrace Hope and Resilience

Miriam’s story is a testament to the power of hope and resilience. Even in a difficult environment, she refused to give up.

Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.’ So the woman took the child and nursed him. Exodus 2:9

Miriam’s unwavering hope and resilience eventually led to Moses being reunited with his birth mother and his life being saved. Her story reminds us that God helps us find new beginnings, even in the darkest times.

In summary, the story of Miriam and baby Moses teaches us timeless lessons of faith, courage, kindness, and resilience. May we all have the courage to trust in God, show kindness, and embrace hope and resilience in our own lives. In doing so, we can make an impact for many, many generations in the future.
