Title: How to Overcome Suffering Main Text: Exodus 5:22-23
Peace is not the only thing in life. Suffering that I am not aware of sometimes comes to my life as a great obstacle. In that case, the outcome will be different depending on how we overcome this hardship. We must keep in mind that suffering can be a blessing or a curse, depending on whether we overcome it by faith or human methods. In today's text, Moses received God's command and stood before Pharaoh in Egypt. And he delivers God's command to let the Israelites go. I thought that the problem would be resolved quickly and the Israelites would be able to leave Egypt because it was the work of Almighty God, but on the contrary, Pharaoh became even more vicious and made the people of Israel even more troubled. make it harder. Exodus 5:14 I thought that everything would be all right as long as we preached what God had told us to do. However, the results were disappointing. The use of the word ‘how’ twice shows how embarrassed he was.
1. Why do you make me suffer?
Exodus 5:22 When Moses prayed to God like this, he was not complaining and angry with the God who had chosen him, but rather the struggle of a godly soul trying to know God's will in a dire situation that human beings could not bear. Israel's evil habits become peaceful and when they prosper, they have a habit of forgetting God. And if you give them suffering and pain, they will seek God again. Knowing this, God gave these people greater suffering so that they could come to know God, believe and follow Him, and live a life of hope. That is why God gave them suffering so that they could seek Him, cry out to Him, and depend on Him. Where can I find this out? Exodus 2:23-25
2. Why did you send me?
3. Do you not save?
