God promised Moses He’d free the Hebrew people from Egyptian slavery. Can you imagine what Moses thought when Pharaoh then increased his cruelty and doubled the work he demanded from the Hebrews?

Moses was so upset he cried out at the Lord in frustration. The way God works can be puzzling. We believe He is operating in a situation, but things might not be progressing as we had hoped. In fact, circumstances may appear to get worse instead of better.

At such times, it’s helpful to remember that God sees the big picture. He’s always working to accomplish His purposes, and though we may not understand what’s happening, He is in full control at all times.

Dr. Stanley outlines seven truths from Scripture to remind us that no matter what we see, we can trust God to fulfill all His promises and complete His perfect plan. In times of suffering and confusion, you can find peace through patience and faith.
