God is a Master planner, who knows what to do at every particular point in time. He has never seen any Pharoah that He cannot dismantle. He gives the best wisdom that brings about success in every cir***stance. Jochebed, though a very silent character in the scripture but salient to my liking. She followed the direction of God diligently.

I believe GOD knows the begining to the end and HE had Moses in his hands from conception. It was GOD who moved on Moses mother to place him in the river for the Pharoahs' daughter to find him. We are fre moral agents to chose the road we would take...GOD knew the faith and loyality of Moses mother and sister-and HE knew they would follow HIS leading.
