Mom's Precious Treasures

I"m sure you"re thinking, "Now Ed, how do you know they"re named Jochebed and Amram

?" Because Exodus 6:20 tells us. Why did I just read that section of Scripture? Because this section of Scripture leaves out the names, I believe, to emphasize the fact that it was God at work doing all of this.

It was God who gave Jochebed the ability to model the faith. How do I know she modeled the faith? Well, take a giant turn to Hebrews 11:23 because this chapter is the Hall of Faith. You see the first two words? It says "by faith", circle those two words. "By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child and they were not afraid of the king"s edict." Remember, moms? You"re modeling. And, this is going to hurt you a little bit, step on the toes, and, even to dads, and whatever we model around the home, our children will end up modeling it and wearing the same wardrobe one day. Whoa! That"s pretty heavy, isn"t it? In other words, what I say, what I model in my thought life, the kind of things I watch, what really attracts me, one day, EJ and LeeBeth will be wearing the same garment that Lisa and I model; and Jochebed modeled the garment of faith.

Here"s the question. Mothers, do you really concern yourself with your daily wardrobe? I"m not talking about the physical clothes. I"m talking about your true wardrobe, that spiritual wardrobe. Do you think about what you wear? Because you need to if you"re going to become a difference-maker mom. Some of you are thinking this, "Well, I want to model a garment called faith," but you don"t have it. You"re trying to model something you don"t have. You"ve got to have the faith, a maturing faith, a growing faith. You"ve got to know Jesus Christ personally in order to model it.

Here"s the second question. Is my wardrobe really the kind of wardrobe I want my children to wear one day? Is it? Is it? Jochebed modeled her faith. Not only did she model the faith, though, she did something else. She marked Moses with her faith. That"s the second absolute. The first absolute, she modeled it. But she didn"t just model it, the second thing was that she marked Moses with her faith. Ed Young says look at verse 24, Hebrews 11. The first two words in verse 23, "by faith", Moses, parents. Now, look at verse 24, "By faith", it says, "Moses, when he had grown old, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh"s daughter." Isn"t that amazing? Jochebed, again, had taken off the robe of faith and she had given the robe of faith to Moses and Moses wore it his entire life to become a difference maker.
