Do you believe in anything enough to risk your life for it? The Hebrew midwives mentioned in Exodus 1 did. At risk of their own lives, they allowed the male children to live although Pharaoh had commanded them to kill every male child born to the Hebrews. Exodus 1:17 says, “The midwives, however feared God and did not do what the King of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.” We have long enjoyed religious freedom in the United States, but it appears those days may be coming to an end. We may soon have to choose whether we are going to obey God or the government.
“Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than men!”
— Acts 5:29 (NIV 1984)
Lord, give us the courage to do what is right no matter the cost. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
