When times are hard, remember that God WILL provide.
Exodus 1 : From wealth to slavery - Fall of Israelites
When Joseph and his sons and grandsons lived, Israelites had a high standing in Egyptian society. But as time went by, with new generations, history was forgotten. Egyptians began to think of Israelites as a threat than friends. They grew so much in number that the new king thought if Israelites continued this way, in case of a war they will have options to join the enemy.
So the king orders that Israelites should do hard labour. They build cities of Remeses and Pithom. But the spirit of Israelites is not crushed even after hard labour.
Seeing that hard labour is not working, the king orders the midwives to kill baby boys but spare girls. But the midwives don't do it fearing God.
The king finally makes it public. He orders the killing of every new born Hebrew boy.
