A Life That Is Visible to the Eyes
Exodus 3:18~20 │ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go. (19~20)

There isn’t anyone in this world who hasn’t faced difficulties. When hardships come, it’s really important how parents take control of the situation because their attitude and method toward the problems or circumstances will eventually get relayed to their children. If that’s so, as a parent or an adult, how must you prepare a life that is visible?
1. The Vessel of Those Who Possess the Gospel
As you meet with people, there are times when you end up competing with them due to similarities or you come to a disagreement because of differences in personalities or opinions. For that reason, you must tell your children and
the next generation to understand that people who’ve been
separated from God are self-centered. You must be able to show them how to gain strength that transcends everything by deeply enjoying the Gospel.
2. From the Seed of the Gospel to the Fruit
What infants hear, see, and feel will eventually affect their behavior and mindset throughout their lives. When parents calculate loss and gains at critical moments, or become frustrated and desperate, their children will deal with problems in similar ways. On the contrary, if parents ask about God’s will in all situations; entrust everything to Him; and pray, children will see their parents and realize what the Gospel and prayer are. If you plant the seed of the Gospel in your children and the posterity from an early age, Jesus Christ will guide their lives, and they’ll walk the evangelist’s life that saves others through the Gospel.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for giving me the grace of salvation. Since You have given me the mission of relaying the Gospel to my children and posterity, please grant me strength to endure. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Did Jochebed Relay to Her Infant Son, Moses?
God gave a son to a couple who had realized the Gospel. Without being able to fully enjoy the birth of their son, they placed their three-month old son in a basket and laid it into the Nile River. Through God’s absolute sovereignty, Pharaoh’s daughter discovered the basket and Moses’ mother, Jochebed, nursed the infant Moses as his nanny. If you were Jochebed, who was hired as a nanny, what would you have said to Moses while breast feeding him? Think about it then write it down.
