HARD TO DECIDE
Calvin Coolidge and some friends
were exchanging opinions about a
senator’s unusual speech methods.
“I remember when I heard him
addressing an audience,” said some
one. ‘‘The senator ended his ha
rangue by saying, T have just given
you all the facts. Now you can vote
for me or go to hell.’ ”
Coolidge looked up for a minute
and said:
‘‘lt was a difficult choice.”

A PEOPLE OPPRESSED
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 1:8-14: 2:23-25.
GOLDEN TEXT—And He said. Certainly
I will be with thee.—Exodus 3:12.
God never forgets His people. We
can be assured of that even though
at times we must wait for His com
ing to bring us deliverance.
The history of Israel repeatedly
demonstrates the faithfulness of
God; hence the lessons of this next j
quarter concerning them will be a
source of real belssing to all who
need and seek God’s help.
The family of Jacob—or, as the
Bible calls them, the children of Is
rael—prospered in Egypt particular
ly as long as Joseph and the rulers
who remembered him were alive.
But they soon learned one of life’s
bitter lessons, namely, that:
I. Prosperity Is Not Always a
Blessing (1:8-11).
The Hebrews wore a peaceful,
law-abiding people. They wore God’s
chosen people, and as He blessed
them they prospered, and thus in
nocently they brought upon them
selves the hatred of the suspicious j
Egyptians.
Prosperity is never an unmixed j
blessing. We as a nation know that
to be true. Not only does it lead to
a certain (softening of the sinews,
but all too often it results in a weak
ening of the moral fiber, which
makes man easy prey to the attack
of the enemy of our souls.
We have just passed through a
great war which has demonstrated
to the world that in a time of crisis
America can be strong, but now that
it is over we are ready to fight one
another to gain advantage. Many
who have profited by war are not
content to have less gold in peace
time, and so the old delusion, the
love of riches, is about to ruin many
lives.
It should be said that the Egyp
tians had reason, humanly speaking,
to fear this great nation which was
growing up in their midst. The new
rulers did not know Joseph and had
forgotten the spirit in which he
had brought his family into the land.
The leaders of the Egyptians there
fore made plans which appealed to
their brilliant leaders as politic and
wise. But they reckoned without
God, and the burdens and the afflic
tions they placed on the Israelites
only served to bring further bless
ing.
So Israel learned a lesson which
our present sorry world can profit
by, that:
11. Persecution Is Not Always a
Burden (vv. 12-14).
The people of Israel did not appre
ciate it, but the bitterness of their
bondage was a blessing in disguise.
1. It Kept Them Separate as a
People. Affliction often serves to
keep God’s people separated from
the world. It is doing so today. \
2. It Disciplined Them and Pre
pared Them for the Hardships of
Their Wilderness Journey. We, too,
do well to remember that ‘‘whom
the Lord loveth he chasteneth,” and
that if we are properly “exercised"
thereby, our sorrows may yield rich
fruit in our lives.
3. It Threw Them Back upon God,
Many are the saints of God who
have found that the fiery trial, the
burden so hard to understand, or
some affliction of body, has caused
them to bring their burdens to the
Lord. We have traveled far on the
road of faith when we have reached
the place where we learn that
‘‘man’s extremity if God’s opportu
nity.”
They had only one place to turn.
They were hemmed in on every side,
but, as ever, they found that no man
can close the way up. They called
on their God.
111. Prayer Always Brings Deliv
erance (2:23-25).
Does God really know when His
people suffer? Does He really care?
i Yes, He does. ‘‘They cried,” and
j “God heard” and ‘‘remembered,"
j That's all we need to know. The
I groaning of His people had already
stirred God’s gracious and tender
I heart. But He waited to hear their
cry before He answered. Such is the
law of prayer. May we not forget it.
Far too often we turn to everyone
and everything else, and finally, in
desperation, to God. Why not turn
to him first?
Does God hear and answer pray- i
er? Yes, but remember tha*. real !
prayer is the cry of faith coming
from the heart of an obedient child, j
God may answer other prayers, but |
He always answers the prayer of
faith.
His answer may not be in accord
with our opinion of what it should
be, for His wisdom is infinite. He
knows better than we what the an
swer should be. Let us trust the
Judge of all the earth to do right
(Gen. 18:25).
A world thrown into unspeakable
fear by the development of the
atomic bomb is now recognizing that
the only hope for the future is a
spiritual revival. Many who scoffed
at the idea of prayer to God are
ready now to hear the witness of a
church that really knows how to
pray and to bring deliveiance fioin
■ the hand of God.
