SEE BY FAITH

Faith Capsule: Speaking, seeing and every other provoking agent of blessings should be rooted in faith.

Exodus 2

Habakkuk 2:4 stated, “…the just shall live by his faith.” All that pertains to living life is encased in living by the word of God (living by faith). Ones that live by faith must also see by faith. The word states it, we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). Ones that do not live by faith shall live in fear.  Exodus 2:1-2 documented, “And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.” The child was born at a time when every other parent could not see by faith but in fear because of the killing of the Hebrew sons. As a believer, it is important to know that out of the abundance of the heart not only does the mouth speak but the eyes see. Speaking, seeing and every other provoking agent of blessings should be rooted in faith. Whatever is seen with the eye is processed in the heart and the heart is where God holds us responsible.
At the time Moses was born, Pharaoh had commanded the killing of every male born by a Hebrew family in Egypt. Despite the death sentence by Pharaoh, by faith, the mother of Moses saw that her son was a beautiful child. By faith she saw him as unqualified for death and found it unacceptable for him to be killed. The mother had faith in what she saw and hid him from untimely death. Unlike every other woman that must have lost their child because they could not see by faith Moses’ mother refused to give up her beautiful child. At the point when she could no longer hold on to him in hiding her faith prevailed. Without any fear for him drowning, she set him up in an ark. It was in the ark that the daughters of Pharaoh picked him up. Moses’ identity as a child under death sentence was not hidden but then Pharaoh’s daughter saw him; she had compassion on the baby. “And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” (Exodus 2:6) Moses that was supposed to be killed was raised and cared for by the house of Pharaoh because the mother saw beauty in the place of death sentence.
