But God Multiplied Them When Grace Enters the Situation Text: Exodus 1:8–14 (ESV) Sometimes grace does not arrive by removing the pressure.

The question “Does God change His mind?” invites us into the deep waters of God’s nature—His sovereignty, His omniscience, and His tender heart that feels grief, compassion, and joy.

This study traces the elder brother spirit throughout Scripture — in eldest sons and eldest positions — and shows how God often bypasses the firstborn, the strongest, or the most religious to work through the weak, the younger, and the repentant.
