Psalm 27:1
What gives you the courage to stand up for what’s right? The story of Shiphrah and Puah in Exodus 1 is a testament to choosing God’s ways over fear of man. These midwives risked everything to defy Pharaoh’s orders, preserving life and trusting in God’s protection. Their faith and courage remind us that even small acts of obedience can have monumental impact. In our own lives, we often face moments where doing the right thing feels risky or uncomfortable. The midwives’ bravery encourages us to prioritize God’s values over worldly pressures. When you stand for righteousness, you reflect God’s light in a dark world. Trust that He will be your strength and salvation in every trial.
