A WIFE IS A WIFE NO MATTER WHAT

A WIFE IS A WIFE NO MATTER WHAT

Exodus 4:20

"AND MOSES TOOK HIS WIFE AND HIS SONS. . .TO. . . EGYPT. . ."

I think of Zipporah as a woman of the wilderness. She was a shepherdess. Her skin was wind-blown and sun-scorched. Though she was a queen of a woman, she was no pampered palace princess. Some feel Moses’ spouse was a black woman. Others have a contrary opinion. Moses brought her and their son "home" to Egypt, a place she had never been.

It was there, that she saw first hand her husband’s mission. It was to deliver his people from bondage. For Moses it was not a return to "pomp and glory," but a return to rejection and ridicule. I do not know if Zipporah knew the difficulty that would be her husband’s job.

Many a wife has had to endure the rebuffs that come when her husband chooses the right path even, if rejection comes along in his coat pocket. We should take a fresh look at this wife of the meekest man on earth and learn from her. (ysw)　

"LORD, IS IT I?"

Today, as I read the account of the "Last Supper" and heard the disciples ask, "Lord is it I?" I, too, wondered about my feeble heartand feared lest, while "looking" at others,I might also deny my Lord! If we women would look first to our own motives and deeds, we would look less at others in criticism. (GGS)　

And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. (Genesis 18:10)
