So far this year I have understood most of the things I have read in the Bible which has been amazing as I feel God has really given me insight into things which were previously hard to fathom. But this bit about plagues we are currently reading in Exodus I just don't understand.
Essentially...
Why do things so often have to get worse before they get better?
Surly the Israelites suffered because of the plaques to some extent? I know some plagues did not touch or harm them, such as the one that killed livestock, however if there are frogs and water is turned to blood and so on, and trade is affected because of it and so on, not only are the Israelites suffering because of their slavery but also because of these plagues.
Why so often in life do we suffer, and just when we think it can't get any worse, it does?

Do we have to write a lot in the blog?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it needs to get worse to get better. Perhaps, like you will look forward or enjoy a good night sleep more if you are tired.
