Baby from the Nile. In our last story, we finished the stories inspired by the Book of Genesis and Joseph's words of forgiveness that while his brothers meant to do evil, God means to do good. Now we will begin stories inspired by the Book of Exodus. In this story, we will learn how the Israelites were prospering in Egypt, but a new king felt threatened by them and forced them into slavery and commanded that their baby boys be killed.

Seventy people from the family of Jacob came to Egypt because of the Lord's favor on Joseph. Joseph, all of his brothers and all of that generation had passed away, but the Israelites also known as Hebrews, were multiplying greatly in the land of Egypt. A new king became the ruler over Egypt, and this king did not know Joseph.

The king addressed his people, these Israelites are much stronger than us and outnumber us greatly. We have to do something so that they will not overpower us.

So the king, who is also known as Pharaoh, sent out people to oppress the Israelites with hard labor. Unfortunately, the more Pharaoh and his servants oppressed the Israelites, the more they would grow in number and strength. PhOH was frustrated with the expansion of Israel, so he had a talk with two Hebrew women who delivered babies about doing something very awful. Phao said, while you are helping mothers give birth, you must let the girls live and the boys die. These instructions troubled the women, and they were not obedient to Pharaoh because they served God. Pharaoh called the women to him again and asked, why are you not doing as I commanded you. They replied, we are not like the Egyptian women. They give birth before we even arrive. God was pleased with the obedience of these women and gave them families.

Pharaoh was still upset that the Israelites were growing, so he ordered all of his people that only new born Hebrew women were allowed to live.

Around this time, a woman had just given birth to a beautiful baby boy. She knew the instructions of Pharaoh, so she hid the boy until he was too big to hide. Out of faith. She got a basket and covered it with tar and pitch to keep water out. Then she put her child in the reeds of the Nile River while her daughter watched closely to see what would happen to him. The daughter of Pharaoh came to the Nile River to take a bath and found the basket. Out of curiosity, the daughter of Pharaoh told her servant to bring her that basket. She opened up the basket and the boy was crying. The daughter of Pharaoh showed compassion on the boy when she realized that this was the child of a Hebrew woman. The sister of the child saw all of this happen and boldly said, should I go find a Hebrew woman that can nurse this child. Pharaoh's daughter agreed that this would be best for the boy, so the sister of the boy took him back to his mother to be fed. When the boy grew, the mother took him back to the daughter of Pharaoh and he became her son. She named him Moses because she drew him out of the water. Moses.

That's a special name. Have you heard Moses's name?

Moses grew into a powerful leader that God used to do wonderful things. But all of that happened years and years after today's story. In today's story, Moses is just a baby. Did you know that every person God uses to do wonderful things. Starts out as a baby. Every doctor, every teacher, every inventor, scientist, astronaut, missionary, police officer, and world leader starts with little baby fingers and baby toes, crying and cooing and needing their mother to feed them. Then they grow into a boy or a girl, then a teenager, then a grown up. And you know what that means. It means that you are very special because God uses boys and girls just like you to do wonderful things. You don't have to wait until you're a teenager or a grown up. You can be part of God's plan to fix his broken creation right now. What are some ways you can do that. You could speak kind words to someone sad. You can tell your friends about Jesus and invite them to church. You can be helpful like Moses's sister, and obey God like the Hebrew midwives did. Let's go back to our story to remember what happened. Jacob and his whole big family of seventy people settled in Egypt near Joseph. They were so happy, and because they were happy, and because God was with them, they grew and grew and grew until Jacob's family called the Israelites grew into almost six hundred thousand people. That's when Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, started to get nervous. You see, the pharaoh who was Joseph's friend had died, and as the years passed, different pharaohs or kings had come and gone. One day, four hundred years after Jacob came down to Egypt, a pharaoh who didn't remember Joseph or his family became king over Egypt. But when this pharaoh saw how numerous the Israelites had become, he got scared. What if there was a big fight, there were so many Israelites, almost more than the Egyptians, the Israelites would surely win. Or what if the Israelites wanted to take away Pharaoh's power and rule Egypt themselves. With so many people, they could do it. And because Pharaoh was scared, he did something terrible. He announced that all the Israelites were the Hebrews would become slaves to the Egyptians. He beat them with sticks and made them work very very hard at very very difficult jobs. But even though he treated them so horribly, the Israelites grew stronger. Then Pharaoh got angry. His plan wasn't working, so he did something even worse than terrible. Pharaoh knew that little Hebrew boys would grow into big hebrew men, and big Hebrew men could become strong Hebrew soldiers who might fight against him, So Pharaoh decided to get rid of all the little Hebrew boys. Now, God loved the Israelites because he had loved Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So God used some brave women to save the little boy's lives. Do you remember who these women were, Yes, the Hebrew midwives. Pharaoh told these ladies to only let little girl babies live, but they didn't obey him. The midwives loved God, so they obeyed God instead, and the Israelites grew even stronger. God used Moses's brave mother and sister too. They put Moses in a special waterproof basket in the Nile River and prayed for God to protect him. God saved the Hebrew baby's life and turned him into an Egyptian prince. Pharaoh's daughter, a princess, found Moses in the river and adopted him as her own. I'm so glad you joined me for today's story. Come back next time to hear what happens when Moses grows up and has to decide will he obey God or will he be scared instead? Remember, the Bible is the best story ever told.
