Genesis is over, but the covenant isn't. In Exodus 1, a new generation of Israelites faces an old promise in a new form affliction, growth in spite of it, and two midwives who feared God more than they feared a king. This episode sits inside the tension of not knowing why hard seasons happen, and asks whether that not knowing is where we're being shaped for what's next.

• The covenant didn't end when Joseph's generation died God kept building the nation
• The more Egypt afflicted Israel, the more they multiplied (v.12)
• Two midwives refused a direct order to kill Hebrew baby boys
• Their reward was tied to their fear of God, not to anything else in the story
• Chapter 1 gives no reason for the hardship, only that it doesn't have the final word

"What if the hard, confusing seasons we're in are reshaping us for something we can't yet see either?"
