“There went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months” (Ex. 2:12).
The fruit of this marriage in the Lord was a goodly child. Why instead of making a display of him did Moses’ mother “hide” this lovely child?
Was it not because she was well aware of one—Pharaoh (the prince of the power of Egypt)—who had decreed his death. She and her husband saw the child as Jehovah viewed him beautiful (Heb. 11:23 JND), because he was a potential deliverer of God’s people. Beloved parents! View each of your precious children this way and then diligently hide them from the wicked world and its prince.
