In Exodus the new Pharaoh is getting nervous about how the Israelite's numbers are growing bigger and bigger. So, Pharaoh tells the Hebrew midwives to kill the baby boys. The midwives fear God more than they fear Pharaoh so they don't do what Pharaoh says. When Pharaoh finds out, he asks them why they have not obeyed him and they tell him that the mothers have the babies before they get there. So, Pharaoh tells his soldiers to go kill all the baby boys.  In chapter two, a Levite woman gets pregnant and has a baby boy. She hides him for three months and then puts him in a basket and sends him down the Nile. Pharaoh's daughter finds him and adopts him and has his own mom gets to nurse him for pay. When Moses grows up, he goes out to watch the slaves. An Egyptian starts beating one of the Hebrew slaves and Moses kills the Egyptian. Moses flees Egypt and goes to Midian. He marries a woman named Zipporah. In chapter three, Moses is tending the flocks and he sees a burning bush, but the bush isn't being burned. A voice comes the the bush and the Lord commissions Moses to make Pharaoh let his people go.
        My favorite verse is Exodus 2:8, "Yes, go," she answered. So the girl went and got the baby's mother. This is my favorite verse because it's ironic, but it's God. God provided for this mother, first, that the baby was found and adopted, and second that his own mother was chosen to nurse him.
        I can apply these chapters to my life for when Moses trusted the voice in the burning bush and did as it said. Often, I don't listen to God even when I know that the voice is God, and Moses didn't. Sometimes, I don't like to listen to God because his way is harder and I just want to stay in my own sin because it takes to much work. But compared to what Moses had to do, what I have to do is nothing. So, I need to apply this to my life by listening to God's voice even when what he's asking is hard.
