"Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished."
It was impossible to make bricks without straw. The Children of Israel were completely crushed by Pharaoh, they were beaten for not producing the bricks -- Then came the message from Jehovah.
"Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale (number) of bricks."
Working with Spiritual law they could make bricks without straw, which means to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
How often in life people are confronted with this situation.
Agnes M. Lawson in her "Hints to Bible Students" says -- "The Life in Egypt under foreign oppression is the symbol of man under the hard taskmasters of Destructive thinking, Pride, Fear, Resentment, Ill-will, etc. The deliverance under Moses is the freedom man gains from the taskmasters, as he learns the law of life, for we can never come under grace, except we first know the law. The law must be made known in order to be fulfilled."
In the 111th Psalm we read in the final verse, "The fear of the Lord (law) is the beginning of Wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever."
Now if we read the word Lord (law) it will give us the key to the statement.
The fear of the law (Karmic law) is the beginning of wisdom (not the fear of the Lord).
