Exodus 6:9
Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.//
When I teach and give the message the Lord has delivered, there will be people who do not listen or believe because of their current circumstances. 

Exodus 5:2
Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.”//
“Who is the Lord?” And “I do not know the Lord.” Thousands of years later, these same sentiments resonate throughout humanity today, as many fail to know the Lord and choose to disobey Him.

Exodus 4:13
But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”//
If not me, then who? May the Lord use me to do His will.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.//
Strength for offense and protection for defense. Lord, I need both. 

Exodus 2:11-14
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”//
Be sure your sins will find you out.

Exodus 1:8-10
Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”//
The lack of a relationship at the top can be devastating for the many below the senior level.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful. // 

Five of the greatest words in the world!

Genesis 50:19-20
But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.//
God makes everything work for good for those who love Him.

Genesis 49:23-24
With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,//
In the face of bitterness, anger, and discontent, I can only remain firm if I rely on the hand of God on my life.

2 Thessalonians 3:1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly.//
Prayer is what speeds the gospel.
