Man's Extremities Are God's Opportunities

The children of Israel were in a dire situation Oppressed by the Egyptians with their extreme manipulation God then told Moses for you I have a mission To deliver My people for that will be your great commission For Moses' name means to be brought out from He was destined to be a vessel for the Holy One Now mankind can be extreme in their behaviour towards each other We can sometimes be overly harsh to our fellow sisters and brothers But the Egyptians were excessively rough on the children of God They poured our bitter afflictions just to break their spirits and hearts Evil in motive, it seems their only intention Was to annihilate the Israelites to the point of extinction But what the Egyptians failed to even understand Is that God is the Creator and He has a master plan Infinite, omnipotent, invincible and always on the go He called upon Moses to let Him know It is you that I need to go tell Pharaoh that his party is about to end For the children of God, the Israelites are about to transcend It's set time to release them from your tyrannical reign Let my people go or the wrath of God you will obtain And trust me you don't ever want to be The one that God sees as His enemy Now there have been many harsh taskmasters who truly serve no purpose in life Their only mission is to be bullies and to give others strife Ungodly pumps, police and people in positions of authority Just making lives bitter that produce poignant testimonies Addictions and afflictions are also dreamkillers that destroy everything in sight They'll take your job, your family, your home and leave strung out and uptight They'll make you sick, they'll make you ill and may even make you kill They'll make you do things that will destroy your will But God sees it all and He despises man's extremities But He can always turn it into a godly opportunity Yes, God can deliver you from it all You only have to respond when on you He calls With a willingness to want change from the depths of your heart And a desire to now walk in the ways of God
