God Had Other Plans

Bible in a Year:

• Judges 7–8
• Luke 5:1–16

Pharaoh’s daughter . . .  named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”

Exodus 2:10

Their precise ages are unknown. One was found on the steps of a church; the other knew only that she’d been raised by nuns. Born in Poland during World War II, for nearly eighty years neither Halina nor Krystyna knew about each other. Then DNA test results revealed them to be sisters and led to a joyful reunion. It also revealed their Jewish heritage, explaining why they’d been abandoned. Evil people had marked the girls for death simply because of their identity.

Imagining a frightened mother who leaves her threatened children where they might be rescued calls to mind the story of Moses. As a Hebrew baby boy, he was marked for genocide (see Exodus 1:22). His mother strategically placed him in the Nile (2:3), giving him a chance for survival. God had a plan she couldn’t have dreamed of—to rescue His people through Moses.

The story of Moses points us to the story of Jesus. As Pharaoh had sought the murder of Hebrew boys, Herod ordered the slaughter of all the baby boys in Bethlehem (see Matthew 2:13–16).

Behind all such hatred—especially against children—is our enemy the devil. Such violence doesn’t take God by surprise. He had plans for Moses, and He has plans for you and me. And through His Son, Jesus, He’s revealed His biggest plan—to rescue and restore those who once were His enemies. .

Reflect & Pray

How do you see God’s plan at work in your life? In what ways has He rescued you?

Heavenly Father, there’s so much evil in the world. Thank You for Your rescue. Help me to trust Your perfect plan.

9/12. Shame on me.

[luvie]

Hi there, Rus! Good to see you. Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word.

[Fledermaus]

I’m old. 12 for 12.

[luvie]

Hey...that’s a GOOD score! Thanks for playing!

[the OlLine Rebel]

11 right.

Only wrong was 3’s Company.

How’s that? Yes, I have a good feel for really old stuff even when I don’t know detail. ;-)

[crusty old prospector]

9-12. I wasn’t alive in the 50’s.

[luvie]

I probably missed that one, too! It wasn’t a favorite. GREAT score!

[Larry Lucido]

Seven right out of twelve. I really thought Green Acres came first.

[DejaJude]

6/12 - need to invest in a calendar. I watched every one of those shows, but apparently my sense of time is way off. :)

[luvie]

Well, to be fair, it WAS a long time ago.

[luvie]

Thanks for joining us for the quiz! Good score.

The wind has died down, which is why we’ll have frost tonight. For that reason, I wish the wind was still blowing a little. We don’t need frost.
We’ll have maybe mid 60s tomorrow. And more wind, I suppose.

[luvie]

No, it’s waaay past time for frost. That’s for Alaska!

[mylife]

I can tell ya which ones sucked...

[luvie]

I’ll bet you can. LOL!

Good to see you!

[radu]

Down there, maybe, but we can have frost well into April. Tough for the farmers who grow early crops, like strawberries. I’d say their fields are covered again tonight.

It won’t be long before prep begins for spring planting around here. When I headed out to the store this afternoon, I saw that the guy who owns the field across the road has already started piling up his mountain of poo. NOT looking forward to the day he starts spreading that! UGH!

[luvie]

EEUUWW...the poo. Does that give us a hint as to what he plans to plant? I hope it’s NOT cotton!
