Exodus 1-2, Job 31, 1 Peter 5
What God said to me – Your adversary, the devil, means for suffering to discourage you from following Me. Look at Job – he is the prime example of this. So you must constantly be on the alert especially during times of difficulty and suffering. Resist the temptation to complain and to feel discouraged and turn away from Me because that is to fall into his trap. Realize that you are not alone. “I AM” with you always, using everything you experience to grow you and to accomplish My purpose in your life. I use these times to grow you in ways that can only come as you walk through these trials. Look at Israel when they were oppressed by the Egyptians – the more they suffered, the more they increased. When you experience suffering remember “I AM” at work so seek Me to learn what “I AM” doing in your life. Remember it’s only for a short time and then you will experience My eternal glory.
