“…The Midwives Answered Pharaoh…”
“The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth quickly and their babies are born before the midwife can get to them.” Exodus 1:19 (AMP)
Today as we move into the book of Exodus, the very first chapter shares the plight, oppression, and hardship of God’s chosen people, Israel. This chapter reveals that the Pharaoh commanded these midwives Shiphrah (beauty) and Puah (splendor) to kill the boy babies and let the girl babies live, but these midwives feared God the scripture says, with profound reverence and did not do as the King of Egypt commanded, the scripture declares, “The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth quickly and their babies are born before the midwife can get to them.”
Today as we take a moment in our prayers, let’s pray for our enemies, those who wish to do us harm, also let’s pray for those who fear God with profound reverence, as God’s word declares, The Midwives Answered Pharaoh!
