Psalm 59:1
What do you do when life feels like a battle you cannot win? In Exodus, we witness Egypt’s fear of Israel’s growth leading to brutal oppression. Yet amid suffering, God’s faithfulness remains steadfast. The cries of His people did not go unheard—they set the stage for a great deliverance. In moments of hardship, it’s easy to feel abandoned. But God’s character is unchanging; He is both our fortress and deliverer. The story of Egypt’s oppression reminds us that no trial is too great for Him to redeem. When you face struggles, trust that God is working behind the scenes for your good. Allow His presence to be your refuge, His promises your hope, and His faithfulness your strength.
