Friday: Further Thought – Oppression: The Background and the Birth of Moses
Daily Lesson for Friday 4th of July 2025
Further Thought:
Read Ellen G. White, “Moses,” Pages 241–251, in Patriarchs and Prophets, which will give you significant insights into the studied portion of the biblical text for this week.

The biblical text states that “the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive” (Exodus 1:17, NKJV). Ellen G. White aptly comments on the faithfulness of the midwives and the Messianic hope: “Orders were issued to the women whose employment gave them opportunity for executing the command, to destroy the Hebrew male children at their birth. Satan was the mover in this matter. He knew that a deliverer was to be raised up among the Israelites; and by leading the king to destroy their children he hoped to defeat the divine purpose. But the women feared God, and dared not execute the cruel mandate. The Lord approved their course, and prospered them.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 242.
The good news in all this is that, despite Satan’s plans, God overruled, and He used faithful people to thwart the enemy. We do live in the territory of our enemy, whom Jesus called “the prince” or “ruler of this world” (Ephesians 2:2, NKJV; John 14:30). Satan usurped this position from Adam, but Jesus Christ defeated him in His life and through His death on the cross (Matthew 4:1-11, John 19:30, Hebrews 2:14). Although Satan is still alive and active, as revealed in his attempt to kill those children, his own execution is certain (John 12:31; John 16:11; Revelation 20:9-10,14). The good news is that life’s difficulties can be overcome by God’s grace (Philippians 4:13). That grace is our only hope.

“A Life Saved by the Power of Hope”
Marlene was just 11 years old when she ran away from home after a traumatic event. By 17, she was a mother, and she felt that life seemed to be looking up, until it wasn’t . . . as her world fell apart again. Filled with despair and unable to find a way out of her problems, she contemplated the unthinkable: Taking her life and that of her children. She couldn’t bear the thought of her own daughter facing the life of problems she’d faced. But then something unexpected happened. Someone showed her how to tune into one of our AWR radio stations in Peru. Almost overnight, Marlene’s whole world changed as she drank in the words of life and the uplifting music. Watch the full story in this video and see how God was able to transform Marlene’s life—and how He used Adventist World Radio to do so! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
