Exodus 5:21-23
…and they said to them, “The Lord look on
you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his
servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.” 22 Then Moses turned
to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did
you ever send me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has
done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”
We demonstrate the weakness of our faith by
our desire to be liked and treated well by wicked men over our desire to be
identified with the One those men oppose. We would rather share in the favor of
a wicked king than share the suffering of the one, true King. We'd rather
experience health, wealth and prosperity as our wages for serving sin than
sickness, poverty and death as grace for standing with the Son.
