Happy New Year! We'll start the new year by following Moses for a while. Even the beginning of his story is fascinating, because the work used for 'basket' is the same word for Noah's ark. Just as the ark saved the people from destruction, so it will deliver Moses from the watery destruction that Pharoah has in mind for Hebrew boys. Pharoah sees a threat and believes that he can conquer it through his worldly power. He doesn't realize that he's up against a power greater than he can fathom.
In the same way, obstacles that we'll face this year will seem more daunting than we can imagine. We won't be able to see a way around them, but God can. God has a different perspective, an eternal perspective, and God's power is greater than any we can wrap our minds around. So may we seek first to trust God in all things, and may we learn that what look to be an ending may, in fact, be a new beginning.
