God demonstrated through Joseph that His will cannot be foiled through the results of sin. (Genesis 41-50) In Exodus 1, God’s plan is under attack once more from the King of Egypt. Notice that it only took a few little actions to keep God’s will on track and frustrate the Pharaoh:
- They multiplied despite hard labor and slavery v12
- The midwives disobeyed the king and didn’t kill the newborn boys v17
- Moses was hid (Exodus 2:1-3)
God is on our side when we teach His word and help His kingdom grow despite the attempts Satan makes to block us.
