Power in Fearing God [Exodus 1]

¹⁷But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.

¹⁸So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?"

¹⁹The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them."

²⁰So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.

²¹Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them.

The fear of God means courage and results in a life that reflects God's power. The midwives knew God and held Him in high reverence and esteem and to be obeyed above all earthly authority. There is awesome power in knowing and fearing our God.

God, we praise You that you are to be feared above all other authority. Cause us to know you and to courageously stand our ground in the face of all earthly opposition to You and Your Word by Your power.
