经文： 出埃及记 1：1－2：25  Exodus 1:1-2:25

马太福音 6：26  Matthew 6：26

你们不必他们贵重得多吗？ “Are you not much more valuable than they?”

(一)              收生婆，施弗拉与普阿决定敬畏耶和华使希伯来的男孩活着。“但是收生婆敬畏　神，不照埃及王的吩咐行，竟存留男孩的性命。”（出埃及记 1：17）耶和华奖赏他们使他们也成立家室。（21节）

(二)               摩西的母亲，约基别违抗法老的命令，并将她的儿子藏了三个月，冒命保护他的男婴。（出埃及记 2：1－2）耶和华奖赏她的信心，将她儿子还给她，并付她喂养费！（9节）

(三)               摩西的姐姐将他的母亲介绍法老的女儿。（出埃及记 2：4，7）因为这样，她领回她的弟弟，并有机会看到他成为以色列人的救赎者。

(四)               法老的女儿对摩西有怜悯的心。她也违背她父亲的命令，让那希伯来男婴生存。（出埃及记 2：6，9）因他怜恤的心，她就成为摩西的干妈，并且有权办摩西取名。（11节）

(五)               西坡拉，米甸祭司的女儿成为摩西的妻子，并为他生了孩子。（出埃及记 2：21－22）当摩西在外邦作了寄居者时，他的妻子带给他安慰。

耶和华一而再地看顾摩西与他的生命。他同样会看顾我们生命的每个阶段。神使用女士们照顾，保护与赐福于摩西，他也会使用你生命里的女士们同样的为你作。神要我们将未来放在他手里，信靠他，不要为明天忧虑，因为我们比天上的飞鸟与野地里的百合花贵重得多了。（马太 6：25－34）

1.   The midwives, Shiprah and Puah who decided to fear God and let Hebrew boys live. “But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.” (Exodus 1:17) God repaid them for them faith in him by giving them families of their own. (Verse 21)

2.    Moses’ mum, Jochebed defied Pharaoh’s order and hid him for three months, risking her life to protect the life of the baby boy. (Exodus 2:1-2) God repaid her faith, and returned her child to her, with child-rearing expenses fully paid! (Verse 9)

3.   Moses’ sister, Miriam, linked Pharaoh’s daughter up with his mother. (Exodus 2:4, 7) For this, she received back her brother and could watch him grow to become Israel’s redeemer.

4.   Pharaoh’s daughter felt compassion for Moses. She also defied her father’s order and let the Hebrew boy live. (Exodus 2:6, 9) For her kindheartedness, she became Moses’ adopted mother and had the privilege to give him that name. (Verse 11)

5.   Zipporah, the Midianite priest’s daughter became Moses’ wife and gave him children. (Exodus 2:21-22) She brought comfort to Moses in a foreign land.

As God has time and again taken care of Moses and his life, he will surely take care of us at every stage of our life. God used many women to care, protect ad bless Moses' life. He can use the women in your life to do the same. God wants us to trust him for our future and not to worry about tomorrow because we are much more valuable than the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. (Matthew 6:25-34)
