Good Opposition

Exodus 5:22-23

22 Moses returned to the Lord and said, Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? 23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all. 

OBSERVATION

God’s plan is never meant to be as easy as a piece of cake.  I believe that God never promised that.  He did promise that He will never leave me and watch over me.  My responsibility is to trust in God who will work out all things for the good.  There are always someone who will oppose what God wills me to do.  I cannot say, “I need to quit and not continue because the difficulty of my situation means that it’s not God’s will”.  On the contrary, adversity is part of the God’s plan for me – to grow me, to humble me, to lean on Him and be courageous.

APPLICATION 

Expect adversity because it is a part of God’s great plan to bless me.

PRAYER 

Thank you Father God for all the forces around me.  You mean it to grow my faith in you and continue to learn to trust you even more tenaciously.  I lift up Michael, Joshua and Daniel for your blessings and protection.  May their hearts be drawn to your voice, Jesus.  I love you, Father.  In Jesus name.  Amen.
