The Barely Mentioned Directed By God

Exodus 2:4-8
4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5 Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said.

7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?"

8 "Yes, go," she answered. And the girl went and got the baby's mother.


From what I understand, Moses had a sister and was watching as the mother hid him in the river. Later, when the Pharaoh's daughter found him, she was the one who suggested Moses' mother to take care of him.

There is a common theme from what I am reading in His words recently. This is the first time that I realize that his sister was the one that got the mother to take care of baby Moses. God uses even the barely mentioned to do great things.

Father God, You are so awesome. I know that you love even the least of men. I know that the greatest of this Universe cares for the little of us. It even shows in this passage as you used Moses' sister to take him into the Pharaoh's kingdom. Thank you for your grace. I pray this all to give you praise.
Amen.
