From our previous lesson, we learnt that Moses was sustained because of his parents who saw him as a goodly and proper child and due to this they were not afraid of the decree of the king. Moses' mother gave birth to and sustained him, despising the king's orders and regarded not the heavy risk attached to her actions. She saw a great future for her son by merely seeing his looks and this propelled faith in her to secure his life. Without the faith of Moses' mother a great man of faith like Moses will have been lost at birth or after birth. This as why Moses' parents and mother precisely were heroes of faith.
When Moses became three months of age, his mother knew that she could not hide him anymore because of his loud cries which will put her and her family at risk, she still chose not to kill him. Her decision was to at most leave his life in the hands of God instead of kill him, this was a way of giving him out for adoption.Although Moses' mother had got to the peak of her faith to secure and nurture her baby, she still did not throw in the towel helplessly by killing her baby, she made efforts to take another giant step of faith which was risky to entrust her baby's life to God.s order despite the heavy risk attached to her actions.

Her decision was to at most leave his life in the hands of God instead of kill him, this was a way of giving him out for adoption. Although she did not know what his fate would be at the river, at least she did not kill him, this was why she sent his sister to watch him from a distance. Although Moses' mother had got to the peak of her faith to secure and nurture her baby, she still did not throw in the towel helplessly by killing her baby. She made efforts to take another giant step of faith which was risky and it demanded that she entrust her baby's life to God. Exodus 2:3-4. Her faith based decision to not kill her son was rewarded greatly by God. This God did by making the daughter of Pharaoh adopt a child who her father sought to kill, thus she disobeyed her father to unknowingly obey God.Exodus 2:5-10.
The preceding verses makes us understand that Moses was weaned and trained by his own parents. During this period of training, he was taught that he is a Jew, he was taught about his God and the God of his people who is the one true and living God called YAHWEH, he was taught about his fore fathers, the faith and practices of his people, he was taught about how his people came into Egypt and he was taught who he was. These revealed that, the parents of Moses maximized the little time they had with Moses, to teach him and train him in accordance with the injunction in scriptures Proverbs 22:6. Training and teaching children on the things of God at their early age is an act of faith which God honors, because it secures their destinies and greatness. These teachings and trainings given to Moses by his parents developed his faith, principles and practices thus, they secured his destiny and greatness. The proof of this truth was the decision Moses made that proved his faith in God, by his refusal to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; i.e he refused royalty.Hebrews 11:24. Moses threw away his only physical hope of security because He blindly choose God's provision of security which he never knew what it held for him.
