Find your roar~no longer a slave.

Hebrews 11:23 NKJV
"By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command."

Before Moses was born, Pharaoh of Egypt decided that every male child, born to a Hebrew woman, was to be thrown into the Nile. This decree, one of Satan’s early efforts to prevent the birth of the Messiah by attacking the Jewish race, must have been a tremendous test of Amram and Jochebed’s faith. Their little boy, who was destined to rule the Israelites, was born, like Christ, with a great red dragon waiting to devour him the moment he was born.
​
Few women have had to raise a family in more difficult circumstances. The fact that a Moses, a Miriam, and an Aaron could come from a slave hut on the Nile says much about Jochebed’s influence. I see Jochebed as a great lioness. As a matter of fact she is symbolic of God. Her name means "His Glory" and just as God gave His Son Jesus to be a deliverer, Jochebed gives Moses to go and live in another kingdom; so he can return and set His people free and be their deliverer.

Think how hard it must have been for Jochebed. But God, watched over what she released into His hands and saw fit, that what she released was returned to her. Moses was drawn out of the nile and returned to his mother for approximately seven years. Weaning in that culture lasted much longer. God even paid for her to raise her own child. When we are in the will of God, God pays the bill. But then, she must release him a second time.

Look with me at the symbolism. God's word is full of secret treasures, if we will just dig for them. God will release Jesus to earth a second time. Moses had to fight an Egyptian, a symbol of Satan and Jesus will fight satan. Moses returned to his Hebrew brothers and delivered them. Jesus is returning for us, His brethren and deliver us to our Promised Land.

ACTION STEP: Never be afraid to release what is in your hand to God. If it is a wayward child, the tithe, a promise, it does not matter; God is able to take care of what we give Him and in the right time return to us what we need most. Jochebed released a son, but in turn received a deliverer. She released what she produced and found what she was promised. We can never out give God. We can never love God more than He loves us. Trust God. Find your roar. Refuse to fear the kings of this world. The battle against the great red dragon has already been won. Find your roar. You are no longer a slave.
