Train a child in his way, and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Prov. 22: 6).
Jocabed was a woman and slave. His lot in life was humble and heavy load. However, the world has not received greater benefits through any other woman, with the exception of Mary of Nazareth. Knowing that his son had to move quickly for their care to those who did not know God, even more fervently strove to unite his soul with heaven (Education, pg. 58).
tried to instill reverence for God and love of truth and justice, and prayed fervently that it was preserved from all corrupting influence. He showed the folly and sin of idolatry, and from an early age taught him to kneel and pray to the living God, who alone could hear him and help any emergency.
Moses's mother retained as long as he could, but was forced to surrender when I was twelve years old. From his humble cottage was taken to the royal palace, and the daughter of Pharaoh prohijó. But Moses is not effaced the impressions he had received in childhood. He could not forget the lessons he learned with his mother. We were a shield against pride, disbelief and vices that flourished amid the splendor of the court.
How extensive in its results was the influence of that single Jewish woman, despite being a slave banished! The whole life of Moses and the great mission which he fulfilled as the leader of Israel attest to the importance of the work of a pious mother. No other task can equal this. In a great degree, the mother shapes with their hands the destiny of their children. Influences the minds and characters, and work not only for the present but also for eternity. Sowing the seed that will germinate and bear fruit, either for good or evil. The mother did not have to paint a beautiful way on a canvas or chisel marble, but you have to burn the image of God in the human soul. . .
every mother that your time is priceless, his work will be tested in the solemn day of accountability (Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 249, 250). EGW
