You’d think a rocky, barren desert no place to experience the presence of God, but these women found Him powerful, loving, and caring as they fled from Egypt and experienced God’s care for 40 long years of wandering.
Under Pharaoh’s edict to kill all the baby boys, the Hebrew midwives said, “the children must not die.” Jochebed had to choose: ought she bring a child into such a messed-up world? Moses’ life was saved by his foster mother, but he had to reject her to do God’s will. His sister, Miriam, lived a long and useful life serving God as a single, dedicated leader of women.
Moses’ wife, Zipporah, was reluctantly obedient, and it nearly cost her husband his life.
Communal living: wise-hearted women gave their precious possessions to furnish the tabernacle: their beauty more than skin-deep. In contrast, Shelomith and Cozbi selfishly chose to live for themselves. And the families of rebels suffer when their father defied God.
Daughters of Zelopha grew tired of being treated like they were “just” females, and God agreed with them! Rahab was a harlot met the God of forgiveness and became a progenitor of Jesus! Joshua’s wife experienced all the hazards and joys of marrying a Christian leader. And Achasah asked her father Caleb for springs of water and received it. She lived joyously in the desert with her brave husband.
