By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.
Hebrews 11:23 NKJV
They were not afraid of the king’s command.
The king’s command was the law of the land. In order to obey God they had to break the law of the land. They showed that they feared God and His law more than they feared the king and his law. They refused to kill their baby.
(Funny - the ‘law’ hadn’t been given yet. Moses, their baby, would be used by God as the lawgiver. Even before that they had His law in their heart.)
Obey God above everything else, the law, customs or expectations of our current day.
God, I trust in You above all others. Amen.
