Exodus 2 has to contain one of the nicest stories in the Bible. It's Egypt, and Hebrew babies are being killed, so Moses' mum pops him in a basket and floats him down the river. God only knows (literally) what she was hoping for, but it couldn't have worked out much better. Downriver, the princess of Egypt finds him and decides to raise him as her own, and Moses's mother sticks her head up, being told by the princess "Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you". (Ex 2:9) What a stunning scripture: when God has a plan for you, nothing will stop that blessing!
Later on we see Moses 'Glancing this way and that and seeing no-one, he killed the Egyptian' (Ex 2:12) Now here's a man with a dodgy past - literally a murderer, but God still used him in a mighty way: nothing is too big for God to handle and forgive!
Finally in this chapter, the Hebrews were groaning in their slavery and 'God heard their groaning' (Ex 2:24). God hears our prayers, so if you have a need, pray about it and believe that he will hear and deliver you.
