Fearing God
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. Exodus 1:17
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. Exodus 1:21
Our spiritual house is of great importance to God. Notice that it was by the midwives’ obedience to God and not Pharaoh, that they were blessed. Pharaoh’s name means “great house” and yet God would make the house of His faithful servants great, and multiply their efforts in their children. By our obedience to the Master we are investing in our own family, and the family of God, which is an investment for eternity. --Donald Norbie
There shall be showers of blessing, if we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing, if we let God have His way.
--D. Whittle
