TEXT
"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 chapter 2 verses 3 to 6)
Merriam Webster dictionary defines providence as divine guidance or care.
We all know that God is the Author of divinity.
From the above Scripture reading, we see the providence of God discretely played out in the matter of Moses.
Moses was divinely placed by the bank of river Nile by his mother, where Pharaoh's daughter usually went to take her bath. The same Moses was divinely delivered from Pharaoh's decree which was to the effect that every male child that was born at the time in question should be killed.
The Lord's ways are past finding out and they are divine in nature. The Bible says in verse 5 of Exodus 2 as follows:
"And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river;...she sent her maid to fetch it...And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children." ( Exodus chapter 2 verses 5 to 6)
Pharaoh's daughter came out to take her bath that day, at the very spot where a child of God had been divinely positioned for salvation. This is a miracle. Others may term this as a coincidence; but as God's children, we regard it as divine.
Just as the ark with the child inside was divinely and rightly positioned and made accessible to the view and reach of its destiny helper, so also, God is divinely positioning someone reading this devotional this morning for a miracle that will change your testimony, in Jesus name.
The baby Moses met with its destiny helper right by the bank of River Nile.
Someone is on a special assignment by God to bring you unto your next level and your place of fulfillment, in Jesus name
Joseph also enjoyed divine providence. He was not taken to any other prison, but the very one where he would meet with his destiny helper, the Butler.
"And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison" (Genesis chapter 39 verse 20)
The hardships and trials that are pressing on you this very hour, week and month of your life are the path to your breakthrough and God is placing around you today, destiny helpers who will take you to the place of fulfillment, in Jesus Mighty name.
PRAYER
Thank You Heavenly Father for Your Eye that is squarely on me wherever I go. Your beauty is made manifest in my life, in Jesus name.
