*How a "Nobody" Outsmarted the Most Powerful Empire on Earth | Exodus 2:3 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 16 March 2026*

Have you ever felt like a complete nobody? It is so easy to feel small and unheard in our busy world, especially when it feels like those in charge do not even see you.

In this five-minute devotional, we look at the incredible story of Jochebed. She was a slave with zero status and no rights, yet she managed to outsmart the most powerful empire on the planet. By looking at Exodus 2:3, we discover how she used her God-given wit to turn a tool of death into a vessel of life.

If you are feeling low at your desk or struggling in a rigid workplace, this video is for you. Learn how to find the "reeds" in your own life - those small, simple things God gives us to protect what is valuable.
