A mother's love is often described as unconditional and selfless, and is characterized by sacrifice, care, and devotion. That doesn’t always play out the same in the real world. Life can be challenging and parenting is hard. Sometimes a mother does hard things, sometimes a woman becomes a mother to someone who isn’t their biological child, sometimes there is distance, and hurt, but through it all God uses the mothers He places in our live. Regardless of if they are biological mothers, mothers from a distance or mothers for a period of time, God can and does use them all.
In Exodus 2:1-10, we see 3 motherly figures for Moses who love him with a bold, watchful, compassionate love. Like the mother figures in our life, these three women showed a motherly love and played a role in who he was and how God used him.
