Scripture:
“But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread. As a result the Egyptians loathed the Israelites,” Exodus 1:12 NET
Observation:
In this passage you see that God’s people, the Israelites, were severely oppressed by the Egyptians. Even in their oppression, the Lord was with them and they multiplied and spread. You would think that in oppressive times, they would stop multiplying, but with God you can be blessed in the middle of your oppression.
Application:
In our weakest times, God has the power and potential to strengthen us and let His blessing come upon our lives. When we feel we are helpless and hopeless, God will give us all we need to multiply in the midst of difficult times. We must put our faith and trust in the God who turns troubled times into triumphant times. We can get stronger in the midst of our pain.
Prayer:
Father, help me to trust You more and to know You deeper. When I feel weak, teach me to remember what You did for the Israelites. When I feel like things are not going well, help me to be encouraged because I serve the God who can bless me in the midst of what seems to be oppressive times. You are faithful and I love You more each day.
Yours,
Jeff
