"22:21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt" Exodus.

Life is filled with mysteries. It is full of events that the soul of man hates. Any of such events happen to all of sundry. As it happens to the prayerless man, it happens to the prayerful. As it happens to those who do not know the Lord, the same happens to those who know their God. Although their end may be different.

Now, coming home to those who know their God, whatever happens to them has reasons and benefits. One such benefit is the truth that it becomes a training forum. It teaches how to handle people in the same situation in the future.

This was the case with the Jews, who were people of God in the strange land of Egypt. They were strangers in the land of Egypt for centuries and they know what the experience of a stranger is in the land where he is a pilgrim.

That is the reason the Lord was able to remind them of the best way to handle or deal with strangers in the land to be given to them. They were warned against vexing or dealing with them harshly. They understand from experience what that means.

Are you going through a hard situation in life? Do so with the Lord Who has promised to be with you everywhere you are. With Him on your side, victory is sure and necessary lessons will be obtained.
The Comfort that you receive will be useful for others who come across you in their mystery in the future.
1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we are comforted of God.1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians.

So every pass-through of a man of God is not to destroy him but to prepare him for a better ministry he has been designed for. This experience will make him fit for the assignment. He will have the right word at the right time for the right person (s).

23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus
The Lord reiterated it to the hearing of His people, the Jews, not to oppress a stranger because they know what it means to be oppressed. They were warned not to do what their hearts hate being done to them.

Beloved of God, are you going through any form of pain or agony? Endure it. God will comfort you in it so that you will be able to comfort others with the same comfort which you have received. The end is in sight. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
