When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
Israel swelled from seventy souls to six hundred thousand warriors not in haste but in God's time, and mark this: their fastest growth came when Egypt made their lives bitter. Suffering times have often been growing times with the church. Never lose heart at slowness; when the year of redemption draws near, God can do a double work in a single day.

Commenting on Acts 7:17-29
Moses was cast out by his own people into the river, but Pharaoh's daughter came down to wash and found him among the flags. She was moved with compassion at the sight of the weeping child, took him up, and adopted him as her son; though she did not rear him in the palace herself, but through his sister's offer engaged his own mother as a nurse, who fed him on wages until he was old enough to be brought to her.
