Jochebed

Do you know Moses? The great leader of Israel that led the Israelites out of Egypt? For sure, you know this man. His story with God is worthed to be recorded in the Bible. He was called as a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3). I don't have to say more about Moses, you can see in the Bible his great story as a leader of Israelites. But do you know that long before he became a great leader, there was someone that played an important role behind his life. Have you ever heard about Jochebed? Her name is mentioned only twice in the Bible in a genealogy. You know, sometimes genealogy, for most of us is not really interesting or important. Therefore, Jochebed's name maybe is not as popular as Esther, Ruth, Sarah, Eve, etc. Jochebed is Moses' mother. She was the one who kept him alive and nurture him until he grew up as a toddler in the middle of tyranny. She was taking a big risk to deliver Moses and kept him until 3 months. However, she did her role as a mother. Maybe she was not popular but she had a very crucial role in Moses' life, long before he became a leader.

Same with us. Sometimes mother cannot be seen as an important person especially while she is cleaning, cooking, washing, shopping, feeding the baby, change a diaper, etc. One thing that you have to know that, through your life as a mother, you can create a leader, a hero, a history maker or someone that you even cannot imagine how great she or he will be. Therefore, JUST DO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE MOTHER. Be an example, a teacher, and someone that ready to give a hug, love and smile for your children.
