Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah...
But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king's orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.
Exodus 1:15, 17NLT
The king had ordered the midwives to kill any baby boys that were born.
And they did not.
The king made the rules
He was the prevailing culture.
But they said no.
God has said these lives are more important
His values are higher.
This was their battle
No matter what I'm being told by the prevailing culture or the lies I am hearing, God's values, Truth, is more important.
And so these two ladies found a better way.
In facing the culture, at risk of their own lives, they found a way forward, to quietly do what was right.
It's so easy to be swayed by the loudest voices, whether that's in the media, from the people we hang out with, or the things that run around in our own thinking, come back to what God has to say...
