Moses began life in a basket on the Nile. He was nursed by his birth mother, adopted by Pharaoh's daughter, watched over by his sister, taken in as a refugee by a stranger, and called by God to carry a whole people "as a nurse carries an infant." Few lives in Scripture say more to families who raise children born to someone else.
Drawn Out of the Water is a 30-day devotional through the life of Moses for foster parents, adoptive parents, grandparents and relatives raising children, and the churches and friends who stand with them. Along the way you'll follow Ren, a 74-year-old Texas rancher who lived in four foster homes before he was adopted at eight, and Derek, 38, an ag teacher whose family takes in two children, Ari and Rowan, on the first night of the book. Their year runs from the placement call to the day the children go home to their mother, and their conversations lead into each day's Scripture, reflection, and practice.
Inside
- Drawn Out of the Water: the midwives, the sister at a distance, the princess's compassion, "Take this child," and Moses going out to his own people.
- A Foreigner in a Foreign Land: a stranger's supper, God hearing the groaning, the burning bush, the question "Who am I?", and a plea to send someone else.
- Let My People Go: trouble after obedience, broken spirits, children's questions at the Passover, the long way, and the sea.
- In the Wilderness: bitter water made sweet, manna for each day, Aaron and Hur, Jethro's visit, and a load too heavy to carry alone.
