It’s very interesting to me that the king of Egypt is never named, but two “insignificant” midwives are.

God remembered and honored Shiphrah and Puah for their faithfulness to him, and their names are commemorated in Scripture to this day.

The king of Egypt…not so much.

You may feel like you’re insigificant and unimportant in God’s kingdom.

But if we are faithful, we will be remembered and honored by God just as Shiphrah and Puah were.

It reminds me of what God said through the prophet Malachi.

At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened.

So a book of remembrance was written before him for those who feared the Lord and had high regard for his name.

“They will be mine,’ says the Lord of Armies, ‘my own possession on the day I am preparing.” (Malachi 3:16-17)
