POINTS:

• When it’s time to leave you may think your troubles are over - THINK AGAIN.

• Being free from one situation does not mean you are free from life’s troubles. But we can place our hope in Jesus during those times of trouble.

• God works everything out, but not usually in the way that you think He will.

• Frequently, we expect that God will save us from various circumstances, but instead, we ought to ask ourselves, "In what way can I behave in this situation to bring honor and glory to God?"

• It’s easy in times of trouble to return to what is familiar, even if it’s bondage.

• The believers didn't pray for themselves and their safety, they prayed for God to show Himself and receive glory.

• God’s ways are not our ways, but He often wants our cooperation.

• Your talent is God’s gift to you; how you use it is your gift back to God.

• God builds our faith in Him during our transformation from bondage to freedom in the Wilderness.
