God Is Our Strength!

God Is Our Strength!

Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. All the offspring of Jacob were 70 persons: including Joseph. Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them. Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph. And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are: Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land. So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses. But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians .And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do: And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.

Lesson to be Learnt:

            No man can prevent what God has planned to do for us. The Egyptians planned to stop the growth of God’s children but failed bitterly, the more they suppressed them the more the Israelites came up. So when somebody is trying to put you down without reason, then all you got to remember is, God is on your side. And the more they suppress you the more you are going to increase. Praise God!

Isaiah 40:31

(CEV)  But those who trust the LORD will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired.

(Hindi) परन्तु जो यहोवा की बाट जोहते हैं, वे नया बल प्राप्त करते जाएंगे, वे उकाबोंकी नाई उड़ेंगे, वे दौड़ेंगे और श्र्मित न होंगे, चलेंगे और यकित न होंगे।।

(Tamil OV)  கர்த்தருக்குக் காத்திருக்கிறவர்களோ புதுப்பெலன் அடைந்து, கழுகுகளைப்போலச் செட்டைகளை அடித்து எழும்புவார்கள்; அவர்கள் ஓடினாலும் இளைப்படையார்கள், நடந்தாலும் சோர்ந்துபோகார்கள்.

(Telugu)  యెహోవాకొరకు ఎదురు చూచువారు నూతన బలము పొందుదురు వారు పక్షిరాజులవలె రెక్కలు చాపి పైకి ఎగురుదురు అలయక పరుగెత్తుదురు సొమ్మసిల్లక నడిచిపోవుదురు.
