Exodus 18:4 KJV
And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
Moses' testimony, through his son Eliezar (the name means literally "God of help"), was that the faith of his father saw him through his times of trouble. Amram's faith, though Amram was personally only able to have a small influence in Moses' life, brought Moses to that same faith. And it was the God he placed his faith in, the God he had learned to trust through his father that had helped him in his time of greatest need.
The faith of the father cannot be emphasized enough in our families. A believing dad, who walks with God and sets that example for his children, passes down to them the greatest asset a person can have in this world; a relationship with the "God of help."
I pray that my boys, though they will face their own trials in life, will find that the God their father taught them of is their help.
