God's Way of Working
Exodus 2:5-6
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side…


Israel's deliverer is brought up on Pharaoh's bread. This is God's method of executing His purposes. He restrains the wrath of man, and causes the remainder to praise Him. He sets a watch upon His enemies. He puts His hook in the jaws of leviathan. He suddenly violates the security of the wicked, and shows kings that they reckon badly who reckon without Him.

(J. Parker, D. D.)
