It's a wonder that Moses lived at all.
First, the ruler of Egypt, Pharaoh, sent out word that all the boy babies born to the Hebrew people should be put to death. But Moses' mother hid him so the authorities couldn't find him.
Second, when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered Moses in a basket in the river, she could have turned him over to be done away with. But she chose rather to raise him as her son instead.
Third, when Moses was grown, he saw an Egyptian overseer beating one of the Hebrew slaves and tried to rescue the man, but in the scuffle the overseer died. And, Moses had to flee for his life.
But God had other plans for Moses -- just as God has plans for you and me.
