God can cause your unrepentant enemies to bend their
rules for you. They will be at peace
with you, and begin to work in your favor.
Pharaoh's daughter had compassion on Moses when she found him in the river. She knew he was a male Hebrew child who should have been killed by the orders of the king, but saw to it that he was cared for (Exodus 2:5-10). That was the Lord's doing. Moses, whom He had chosen to deliver the Israelites from Egypt was raised in Pharaoh’s place as a Prince of Egypt. His divine plan prevailed as Israel’s deliverer was loved, groomed, and cared for in the enemy’s den.
Reflection
There is nothing we can do to please an infinitely holy God, if we are yet to completely surrender to Jesus Christ, His Son. Neither our good works nor our impeccable character can please Him in our unsaved state. The Bible says they are like filthy rags before Him (Isaiah 64:6). Jesus alone makes us righteous, for He is our righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30). Our ways give God the Father great pleasure, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and commit to a lifestyle of holiness.
