Commentary on Acts 7:21
Moses being 'cast out' (exposed to die) seems like covenant failure, yet God providentially orchestrated his adoption by Pharaoh's daughter. What appeared as abandonment became the means of preservation and education in Egypt's palace. God's sovereignty transforms apparent defeats into victories—Moses' adoption positioned him to lead Israel with Egyptian court training. Divine providence often works through unexpected human agents, even pagan princesses.
