But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, (Acts 7:17 ESV) To understand Acts 7:17, Stephens review of Jewish history gives a clear testimony of Gods faithfulness and sovereignty. Despite the continued failures of His chosen people and the swirling world events, God was working out His plan. When faced by a confusing array of circumstances, remember that: (1) God is in control--nothing surprises Him; (2) this world is not all there is--it will pass away, but God is eternal; (3) God is just, and He will make things right--punishing the wicked and rewarding the faithful; (4) God wants to use you (like Joseph, Moses, and Stephen) to make a difference in the world. This note to help understand Acts 7:17 is from the Life Application Study Bible (King James Version).
