Making bricks without straw.
We have all felt this. Maybe not as extreme as being slaves to cruel masters who demand the same work be done with less time and less resources. Then again, parts of that do sound pretty familiar. The fact is there are times in life that when it rains it pours. What do we do in times like this? I'm pretty sure we all at some point get to vs. 22 of chapter 5. We hold up our hands and beg God to tell us why? Moses doesn't see why God even sent him, he doesn't see this going anywhere. A bad situation is getting worse, and he's ready to quit.
What's the answer?
God reminds Moses who he is dealing with. This is the almighty God who established a covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He provided above and beyond with them and He promises to do the same with the Israelites now.
This same God who heard the cries of the Jews in bondage thousands of years ago is the same God today that sees and hears us. We have abundantly more of God revealed to us. His track record in unmatched, absolutely untouchable. So when we don't understand and we have to ask why; let's stop and listen. Let God give you an answer like he does here in ch. 6. Look back at his love and provision for His own. It has never wavered, and it never will.
