What does it look like to live a life of real purpose and meaning rather than just drifting through the daily routine? That question sits at the heart of this powerful exploration of Exodus chapter 1, where two women most of us have never thought much about turn out to be pivotal figures in the story of human redemption. Shiphrah and Puah were Hebrew midwives living under the crushing weight of an empire, ordered by the most powerful man in the world to kill every newborn Israelite boy. Their quiet, courageous defiance was not dramatic or loud. It was simply rooted in one thing: they feared God more than they feared Pharaoh. And because of that, a nation survived. Because of that, Moses was born. The big picture, which they could not fully see in the moment, was unfolding through their small, faithful acts of obedience. We are invited to consider our own lives through that same lens. The seemingly ordinary decisions we make each day, the moments where we choose to stand by what we believe even when it costs us something, may be carrying far more weight in God's larger story than we could ever imagine. This is a message about seeing beyond the immediate and trusting that God is working through us in ways we cannot yet fully see.
