Ex 1:20-22 (NIV) So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live."
NOTE: The Egyptian leaders feared the men more than the women. But the women feared God more than men. That is an interesting lesson. The Egyptian leader viewed life from a physical perspective. The men were strong and dangerous. But spiritual strength can do more than physical strength. Ultimately, none of Israel's man-strength will save them, nor will it destroy Egypt as the leaders feared. It was all spiritual, and it started with the women fearing God above men.
Who do I fear, men or God? How does it affect my actions?
