God is governing the ebbs and flows of the political process. He even orders political processes to bring, even his own people, to be oppressed. In Acts 7:6 we learn that God Himself brought His people to Egypt so that “ They would bring them into bondage and oppressed them 400 years. And the nation who they will be in bondage I will judge, said God, and after that they shall come out and serve me in this place.“ God glorifies Himself in both oppression and deliverance. If the church enters into a season of oppression, we ought to remember that God is working the sweeping flows of history as well as the “on the ground,” political movements for His glory - which always ends in His victory. Fear not.
