Pharaoh tells his taskmasters to make the people come up with their own straw to make the brick. Before the masters would bring them their straw to them, but now they are required to go out and collect their own straw without any change in their quota.
The people get very angry with Moses for stirring up more pain and work for them. They don't understand why things have gotten worst for them. Moses has told them that God has come to deliver them but this wasn't part of the deal. Why have things gotten worst? "Moses you didn't tell us that this action was going to make things worst!"
On the road path to freedom and deliverance always come more difficulties and stress. Pharaoh is not about to turn lose of a good thing. He has all these people's free labor making his products and building his dreams. Why would he turn Israel lose? "I will show them who's in control, I will let them think twice before they mess around with my dictatorship."
You may be praying for your kid that is running from God, a spouse who is backslidden, a boss who is under great conviction from God. Don't expect things to get better just yet. Satan doesn't want to turn lose of one that is on the wrong path and plan of death and destruction.
Praying for your family, your friends, your neighbors are so critical. You may say, "The more I pray the worst things get." This was true in Moses day and is still true today. Don't be dishearten and discouraged with more added stress. This is only a sign that the enemy of their soul does not want to turn lose of the grip that he has on their deceived path.
Keep pressing in with your prayer and fasting. God is the one who shows up to deliver people from their hold in bondage. Have things gotten worst? It's just a sign that deliverance is on the way. Remember God is the great deliver and He alone has the power to set men free.
