Bob Sorge: Psa. 105:24 He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies. God put Israel inside Egypt so they would grow. In 430 years, they grew from a family of 70 to a nation some three million strong. They became strong enough to conquer, inhabit, and hold their promised land. God sends you into captivity to grow you. Never waste a good prison sentence—get large enough to inhabit your promises.
