[[God]]'s command to [[Pharaoh]], "Let my people go!" reveals that [[Israel]] was in bondage. [[God]] wanted them to be free that they might serve Him. Instead the result was more bondage for [[Israel]]. Unfortunately, the people of [[Israel]] looked to [[Pharaoh]] for help and not to the [[Lord]], who had promised to deliver them. [[God]]'s purpose in allowing [[Pharaoh]] to oppress [[Israel]] was that His power and glory might be known to the world.
The stage is set: [[Pharaoh]] has refused [[God]]'s command, and now [[God]] will send His judgments on [[Egypt]]. He would fulfill His promise in Genesis 12:3 to judge the nations that persecute the [[Jews]]. He would reveal His power, His wrath, and His greatness, showing that the [[God]]s of [[Egypt]] were false [[God]]s and that [[Jehovah]] was the true [[God]].
[[Moses]] certainly must have known discouragements, but he took his problems to the [[Lord]]. [[God]] sustained him and gave him the [[victory]]. We [[Christians]] serve the same [[God]] [[Moses]] served. When situations come into your life that cause you confusion and depression, do not be discouraged. We should never doubt [[God]]. His greatest desire for His children is to bless and lead them. No matter what the situation, [[God]] will see you through it. The song write expressed it so well when he wrote, "Through it all, through it all, I've learned to trust in [[Jesus]], I've learned to trust in [[God]]." [[God]] loves you! He will sustain you "through it all" and give you complete [[victory]].
