The Storm Will Pass

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered

The local TV meteorologist occasionally points to a map and says something like this: “I’m afraid that things are going to get worse before they get better.”
Such a forecast could very well have applied to Israel when God sent Moses to free His people from slavery in Egypt. Moses had appealed to Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go into the desert to worship God, but the king accused them of loafing on the job (Exodus 5:1,17). So he multiplied their workload, and the situation went from bad to horrible (v.18). Moses cried out in bitterness to the Lord for an explanation (vv.22-23).
The plans of the Lord were not being frustrated, however. Before conditions would get better for His children, God tested them by allowing their suffering to increase. Even when we are obedient to the Lord, the skies of adversity may not always clear immediately. Circumstances may get worse before they improve. But praise God, His grace will sustain us, and the storm will pass.
Storm is necessary to make our spirituality getting higher and higher
