Exodus 5:8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Good Morning Saints,
Today we will meditate upon Israel and their tale of bricks.
Pharaoh had said something which we can correlate with our present times "Is Praying is a waste of time?".
Today many youth and old are so much obsessed with work and success that they forget their prime existence and that is fellowship with God.
Israel was under hard bondage by the Egyptians. They toiled hard for a morsel of food. They were crying day and night and would intreat God for deliverance.
These hard bondage was for many years it was very much like our struggle in the present time.
Tale of bricks shows some important things.
1. Hard work doesn't necessarily means you are heading for success.
2. If you are not in fellowship with the Lord and only interested in hard work. Think again!! That is not God's plan for you.
3. The purpose of the Satan is to engage you in work so much that you stop thinking about God and his plan.
4. Israel was ill-treated and still could not raise their voices against the masters.
5. The enemy had killed, stole and destroyed the blessing of the Israelites during the period of their stay in Egypt.
Saints, every brick has a tale to tell every brick in college, company, schools, factories and other institutions has a tale to tell.
When we work, toil and labour we need to consider for whom do we labour? What is the use of such a hard work?
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Please don't misunderstand me when I say you don't need to work hard. I mean about any job, business, work which would rob your happiness, peace, fellowship and unity among the family members is not from Lord. Though it might appear sweet but it will sting later like a viper.
Many youth resort to cocktail parties, corporate parties to please the clients, bosses and people.
The world would always think that fellowship with Lord, Bible study, Bible reading and going to church is an idle work. There would be section of people who would say what is the use of praying. Work is worship!
Saints, always remember we cannot do anything without Lord's help.
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Yes a division, a difference of opinion between the world and us. World cannot understand us.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Do the work which is pleasing to God and he will establish and settle you.
Keep praying and fellowship with Lord Jesus.
God bless
