Come, Follow Me Moms

Exodus 1–6

“I Have Remembered My Covenant”

Hey mamas, welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms, where we take the scriptures each week and break them down into the meat and potatoes so you can understand them, feel the Spirit, and apply them to real mom life.

This week we are in Exodus 1–6, and I need you to hear this right from the start:

💗 God does not forget His people.

Because if we’re being real…

There are seasons where it feels like He has.

When life is heavy

When prayers feel unanswered

When things actually get harder, not easier

This week’s story is for you if you’ve ever felt that way.

📖 The Story (Meat and Potatoes)

Let’s break it down simply.

The Israelites are multiplying in Egypt.

A new Pharaoh comes who does not know Joseph.

He becomes afraid and puts them into bondage and slavery.

He even orders that baby boys be killed.

But God starts working… and He works through women.

The midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, fear God more than man.

Moses’s mom hides him.

His sister stays close and watches over him.

Pharaoh’s daughter shows compassion and raises him.

Then Moses grows up, flees Egypt, and has an experience with God at the burning bush.

God calls Moses to deliver Israel.

And Moses responds in a way that probably feels familiar:

“Who am I?”

“I’m not good enough.”

“I can’t do this.”

And yet… he goes.

Moses obeys.

He goes to Pharaoh.

And things actually get worse.

The people are upset.

Moses feels discouraged.

And then God says:

“I have remembered my covenant.” (Exodus 6:5)

 The Purpose

This is not just a story. It is a pattern.

Bondage

Crying out

God calls

Resistance

Deliverance

And here is the truth:

God is working even when you cannot see it yet.

 The Women

Don’t skip this part. This is powerful.

God did not just use Moses.

He used women in quiet, brave, everyday ways.

Midwives who chose God over fear

A mother who trusted God with her baby

A sister who stayed close and watched

A woman who showed compassion and made a difference

You do not have to be the main character to be part of God’s plan.

You are shaping your home.

You are raising leaders.

You are part of something bigger than you can see.

🤍 Motherhood Connection

This whole story is motherhood.

Protecting your children

Trusting God when things feel unsafe

Doing small things that feel unseen

One line that stood out so strong:

“The same place that saved Joseph’s family… became the place of their affliction.”

Sometimes the place that once felt like a blessing

now feels heavy.

And you find yourself asking:

God… why am I here?

🙏 How God Shows Up

God shows up in Exodus long before the big miracles.

Through people

Through small acts

Through timing

Through protection we don’t even recognize

He was working before Moses ever saw the burning bush.

And He is working in your life right now, even if nothing looks different yet.

📖 Powerhouse Verses

Exodus 1:17

The midwives feared God

This is reverence, trust, choosing God over the world

Exodus 2:24

God remembered His covenant

He did not forget. He never forgets

Exodus 3:11

Who am I

Moses doubted himself just like we do

Exodus 3:12

Certainly I will be with thee

That is the answer. Not that you are enough, but that God is with you

Exodus 4:10–12

God does not remove weakness. He works through it

Exodus 5

Sometimes obedience makes things harder before they get better

Exodus 6:6–7

I will redeem you

God delivers in His timing

🔥 The Refining

In affliction, they grew.

Growth does not happen in comfort.

It happens in the hard seasons.

God was not punishing Israel.

He was preparing them.

And He is doing the same for us.

💬 Personal Stories

I shared how this podcast took me five years to start because I felt unqualified.

God was patient with me.

Moses did not feel ready either.

And I love this real-life example from a friend:

She shared that being willing to get pregnant again has been a huge act of faith.

It has been scary, unknown, and she does not even have the ending yet.

And that is faith.

Faith is not knowing how it ends… and saying yes anyway.

🙋‍♀️ Questions to Reflect On

Where in your life do you feel in bondage right now?

Where does it feel like God is quiet?

What is God asking you to do that feels too big?

Are you willing to say yes… even without the ending?

💗 Final Message

Mamas…

If you are in a hard season

If life feels heavy

If you are wondering if God sees you

He does.

He remembers you.

He is working, even now.

And just like He told Moses:

“I will be with thee.”

 Closing Invitation

This week:

Trust God in the unknown

Look for Him in the small ways

Say yes to the thing He has been putting on your heart

And remember…

He has not forgotten you 🤍
