What does Exodus 2:5 mean?

Pharaoh's daughter comes to the river for a bath, and her attendants are with her along the bank. When she notices the basket hidden in the reeds, she sends someone to retrieve it for her. This moment is when the story turns for baby Moses, though none of them know it yet, the daughter of the very ruler hunting Hebrew babies is about to become his rescuer and protector. There's something beautiful about how God works through the everyday routines of people, ordinary moments becoming part of an extraordinary plan.
