She Understood The Assignment

May 10, 2026    Pastor Mi'Chelle Nelson

Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is open our hands and let go. The story of Moses' mother, Jochebed, teaches us the difference between quitting in frustration and letting go in love. When Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed, Jochebed hid Moses for three months until hiding became more dangerous than releasing him. She made a waterproof basket and placed him in the Nile River - the very place meant to destroy him. This wasn't abandonment but strategic surrender, positioning him for survival and God's greater purpose. Sometimes what looks like rejection is actually God positioning us for our next level.
