Exodus 5: 1-6: 1 (PQ of 25/11/2017)

LET MY PEOPLE GO

Key Verse 5: 1
The discouragement strongly visited the people who had accepted the word of Jesus. Joy turned to sadness. We leave with joy and faith, but often the first phase is opposed to what we hoped for.1. Let my people go (1-9)Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh to ask him to allow the people to worship in Sinai. They had the expectation that God would work hard to bend the pride of the king. But God had already predicted that he would not listen to it. Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord? It was a normal reaction on the part of nonbelievers. Their naive testimony of the appearance of God before them only made the king laugh. The king spoke badly of the servants of God, and the situation was badly turned, for the king imposed upon the shoulders of the people the work heavier than usual. That is to say, it does not provide straw for making bricks. Everyone had to go for straw, but the quantity required did not change.2. Why did you hurt? (10-6: 1)The inspectors, according to the order of the king, imposed the quantity of bricks on the commissioners of the Jews, and even struck them. They complained to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh chased them away, not wanting to listen to them. The commissioners cursed Moses and Aaron, saying, "May God judge this injustice. Because of the heavy burden of the present, the commissioners doubted the veracity of the word of the servants. Their faith from the beginning changed to full incredulity which revealed itself in malicious action. The problem is that Moses himself doubted the truth of the word of God and the love of God who wants to save the people. He says, "Why did you hurt? "You have not delivered the people at all. But all this was what was predicted by God. Moses had to wait longer because it would take time. The deliverance of Pharaoh's hand was not the business of the day. Often impatience brings people to an irrevocable error. God knows the weakness of Moses and the people and implanted faith in Moses again. God exhorted Moses to go to the enemy to fight with the promise that they would let them go under the mighty hand of God.
