So the Israelites are having a lot of babies! and their new king doesn't like it. So they try some things to change that. But it doesn't work. So then he tells the Midwives to kill all the baby boys when they are born.
But here's my FAVE part. Exodus 1:17-18 They had too much respect for God, and they didn't do as they were ordered! They just didn't do it!! Then guess what!! Exodus 1:20-21 God blessed them and gave them families of there owns!!
They respected God and disobeyed there king. Then God blesses them.
Recently God has been teaching me what it means to trust him and go with his plans! Its really hard sometimes when i see that almost everyone else around me has a boy friend or has something else that i don't have. Its hard. But I have to respect Gods plan. Don't get me wrong. I could get any guy! I could easily change everything about me and be a girl that guys would want to date. But i have faith that God has a plan for me and my life.
They don't tell you what happened to the midwives after they disobeyed. I don't think they got off on that easy, with a "ahahah your funny, you didn't do what i told you to, hahahah" No they probably got into some serious trouble BUT God rewarded them for there respect and gave them families of there own.
I have No doubt that I'm in that same boat. Its hard and sometimes i get really upset about the fact that i missing out on the experience of having a boy friend in high school. But you know what God has a plan for me and will reward me for my patients! :)
This is just the first night of my study through Exodus! I can't wait to see what God shows me tomorrow night!!
