1247A: Jochabed: By Faith
Jochebed was a Hebrew woman who refused to obey the Pharaoh's edict to drown her child. Instead, she hid her child as long as she could and finally put him in a makeshift basket of reeds along the Nile. Thus began the life of Moses. By faith, she had to give up what was hers, because what was hers was God's. How can we give our children back to God? Look to the life of Jochebed.
