BUT LEAH’S STORY MIGHT BE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL STORIES IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE. Most people remember Leah as the woman Jacob didn’t want. But there’s much more to her story. 🧵

Catholic. Baptist. Methodist. Pentecostal. If they all believe in Jesus, why are there so many different types of Christians?

Can you completely forgive someone... and never speak to them again?

Do you believe EVERY Christian needs to read the Bible regularly?

Moses enters Scripture in the middle of genocide. Pharaoh has issued a decree: 📖 Exodus 1:22 — Every Hebrew baby boy must be thrown into the Nile. Israel is multiplying. Egypt feels threatened. Fear turns into oppression. Oppression turns into slaughter. Mothers are hiding their newborns. Fathers are praying for miracles. The cries of the Hebrew people rise to heaven. And in the middle of that darkness, one woman makes a desperate decision. She builds a basket. Coats it in pitch. Places her three-month-old son inside. Sets him among the reeds of the Nile. She lets him go. That baby is Moses. The child who should have died. The child God would use to confront empires. 👶 Moses — The Child Who Should Have Died The Nile does not swallow him. Instead, Pharaoh's daughter finds him. 📖 Exodus 2:6 "She saw that he was a fine child, and she had compassion on him." The irony is breathtaking. The same river meant to kill Hebrew sons becomes the river that saves one. Pharaoh orders death. Pharaoh's daughter delivers life. Moses grows up in two worlds: 🔥 Hebrew by blood 🔥 Egyptian by upbringing 🔥 Raised in royalty 🔥 Trained in "all the wisdom of the Egyptians" (📖 Acts 7:22) He is groomed for leadership in the most powerful empire on earth. But he belongs to a people in chains. From the beginning, Moses lives between identities. • Palace comfort. • Slave ancestry. • Privilege. • Oppression. God is shaping a deliverer long before Moses knows he needs to be one. ⚔️ Moses the Impulsive Deliverer Around the age of forty, something inside Moses breaks. 📖 Exodus 2:11–12 He sees an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave. He looks around. No one sees. He kills the Egyptian. He hides the body. This is not cowardice. It is misdirected zeal. 📖 Acts 7:25 tells us Moses thought his people would understand that God was using him to rescue them. They didn't. Instead, the next day, when Moses tries to intervene in a Hebrew dispute, he hears: "Who made you ruler and judge over us?" (📖 Exodus 2:14) Rejection cuts deeper than Pharaoh's anger.
