希伯来书：11:23：摩西生下来，他的父母见他是个俊美的孩子，就因着信，把他藏了三个月，并不怕王命。
义人藉着信心而活，摩西的父母也不例外。他们将孩子藏匿起来，这样法老的人就没办法杀死他。到后来再也藏不住了，摩西的母亲把他放到河里，交在神的手中。后面的故事我们都知道了。这个生长在法老宫廷的希伯来男孩成了上帝子民的领袖。
基督徒父母把孩子带到这个世界，也是藉着信心而活。我们甚至不知道如何才能喂饱这多出来的一张嘴。然后可能是二张，三张，四张，甚至是五张和六张。但我们藉着信心而活，我们坚信上帝一定会供应我们。
我们在一个充满罪恶、邪恶和苦难的世界里养育我们的孩子。但我们每天为孩子们的祷告，都能上达到上帝的宝座前。我们知道上帝的圣天使看顾他们。我们将他们交托给我们慈爱的天父和救主，他无处不在地保护他的孩子。
然后我们送他们上大学，他们在这个世界上立足。但我们早就将上帝话语的种子深植在他们心中，就像摩西的母亲。即使是在法老家里的那些年，她的教导一直陪伴摩西的左右。我们相信圣灵会藉着我们对他们的教导来保守他们的信心。当然，我们仍会不停地祷告。即便他们一时偏离正路，我们也会加倍努力祷告。就像摩西的父母，基督徒父母每天都藉着信心而活。
祷告：父啊，亲爱的天父，尽管我常常偏行己路，你仍引导我走在信心的路上。感谢你藉着基督徒父母，将你的话语深深地根植在他们孩子的心中。今日我要为我自己的孩子甚至是孙辈祷告。使他们真诚的信靠你，让他们爱你的话语。我这样祈求是奉你的名。阿们。
Hebrews 11: 23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
The righteous live by faith, and Moses’ parents were no exception. They hid him so that that the Pharaoh’s men could not put this child to death. Then, when it was no longer possible to hide him, Moses’ mother placed him in the river and into God’s hands. We know the rest of the story. The Hebrew child raised in Pharaoh’s household becomes the leader of God’s people.
Christian parents live by faith as they bring their children in to this world. We bring a child into this world, wondering how we can possibly provide for one more mouth to feed. Then two, then three, and four (and five and six!). But we live by the faith that God will provide.
We bring up our children in a world of sin and evil and misery. But our prayers ascend to God’s throne every day for everyone of them. We know that God’s holy angels watch over them. We entrust them to our loving God and Savior, who is present everywhere to protect his children.
Then we send them off to college and to make their way in the world. But we have planted the seed of God’s Word deeply in their hearts, like Moses mother, whose words of instruction stayed with Moses all those years in Pharaoh’s house. We are confident that the Holy Spirit can use what we taught them to keep them faithful. And of course, we keep praying. And should they wander off the path for a while, we pray all the harder. Like Moses’ mother and father, righteous parents live by faith every day.
Prayer: Father, dear Father, you have kept me on my journey of faith, though I am a sheep that likes to wander. Thank you for Christian parents who planted the Word deeply in my heart. I pray for my children and grandchildren today. Keep them true to you. Give them a love for your Word. I ask this in your name. Amen.
