11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
- Exodus 1:11-12
Years after Joseph died, another new generation leader is in charge in Egypt. The Israelites were then already a mighty and prosperous people, the new king was jealous of them and also scared of them, so he devised a plan in which they will wipe out the Israelite with rigorous tasks.
But here is the interesting part, the more the Israelites were afflicted, the more they multiplied and grew. That baffles the Egyptian. Their plans has backfired and they are in disarray. They try so many evil methods to suffer the Israelites yet this special group of people keeps waxing stronger and stronger.
What was the secret of the Israelites? How did they do it? God was their secret. Whosoever dwells in the secret of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91:1)
As long as you are under the shadow of the Almighty, the Enemy will only attempt, he can't get you. The Israelites are God own special people. As a Child of God, you are also God special one, the apple of His eyes.
The Secret place of the Most High means His Presence. As long as we are in the presence of God, we are safe. No matter how hard the enemy tries, they can't stop your progress.
Against all odds, Children of God will always do well in the midst of affliction. No matter the situation you find yourself into, always stay in His presence, that is the safest place you can be. Every child of God belongs to the presence of God. Anything outside His presence leaves us vulnerable and open to attacks.
In God's presence, every evil intentions will always be a plus for you, Every stumbling block will become a stepping stone for you.
We are stronger, greater and better in God's Presence, no other place to be than His presence.
It's a beautiful Tuesday. Good Morning and keep bouncing in God's presence.
