Thought for Today: Tuesday December 21:
Let YHVH show His way for you this day. He guides you continually so you can relax and enjoy His Presence in the present time. Living well is both a discipline and an art. Concentrate in staying close to Him, the Divine Artist. Discipline your thoughts to trust Him as He work His ways in your life. Pray about everything and then leaves the outcome up to Him. Do not fear His Will, for through it He will accomplish what is best for you. Take a deep breath and dive into the depths of absolute trust in Him. Underneath are the Everlasting Arms!

The Hebrew midwives conspired just like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah, but in a good way. It's not always wrong to lie or disobey the government, and there is no commandment against deceiving your enemies to gain advantage or to save lives. Fear God rather than man and don't elevate peace or conformity above his instructions.
Some possible reasons Pharaoh killed only boys:
1) He knew about the prophesied deliverer.
2) It's easier to assimilate and control women.
3) Too many single men means more potential for violence.
4) Keep the men busy trying to provide for more women and children.
