Haters Aren't New!

Here is where the thought for today stems: [Exodus 1: 6-12] 6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. 8 Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. 9 "Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country." 11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. If you look at your life, when it seems like all things are falling in place, there will always be someone who will not bask in your favor. There will always be someone who doesn't seem to be supportive or excited about your success or opportunities or happiness or promotion or love life. Haters are not new. Like Pharaoh they will try limit and minimize you because they are envious based on what they don't have. But you need to have an Israelite mentality. Even in bondage you can be bountiful (in abundance). When you are in the will of God, oppression by man will not disturb opportunities provided by the Master. Be fruitful today and watch how your haters respond. It is not your responsibility to prove haters wrong or right. But when God responds on you behalf, your haters are placed in a position to behave.
