It is interesting how Moses mother put him in a basket in the bull rushes as a tiny three month old baby. Prior to that his parents hid him, not out of fear but “because they saw he was no ordinary child”. To a loving Mum or Dad what child is ordinary? Every one of my four, in my eyes is extra-ordinary, dearly loved and fiercely protected. A baby’s trust in its parents is unswerving. They are born to trust- that they will be loved, nurtured, fed and have their cries answered. Moses’ parents trusted God in the same way. What was most precious to them was given to Him, certain of his absolute trustworthiness, His complete care and protection.
Recently I took one of my daughters and gave her into the care of doctors and nurses in Swanage hospital. Despite being a minor operation I surrendered her happily to their competency, knowledge and kindness. Behind the medical staff is my heavenly Father. Over many years I have regularly put my children in His capable hands, trusting in His unfailing love to those who trust Him.
