Exodus 1:12   (NKJV) ‘ But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.”

When we are burdened or mistreated, we may feel defeated. But our burdens can make us stronger and can develop qualities in us that will prepare us for the future. We cannot be over-comers without troubles to overcome. Be true to God in the hard times because even the worst situations can make us better people. Source: Life Application Study Bible
