Jochebed (Moses' Mother)

3. List the things that Jochebed recognized about her son from the following verses:

a. Exodus 2:2

b. Acts 7:20

c. Hebrews 11:23

4. How did this knowledge affect her actions?

LESSONS AND APPLICATIONS

1. God has the power to place His thoughts into the minds and hearts of His people. What has God given you through times of quiet meditation upon Him and His Word that has helped you do what is pleasing to Him?

2. The history of God's family is documented in the Bible. What of your life is documented so that those who come after you will know the true you? What can you do to keep a record of your walk with the Lord (journal, letters, etc.)? Why not start today? Take some time to write about what God is doing in your life right now.
