Hardship only makes the rebellious heart harder, we saw this in the time of Moses when the Pharaoh finally let the people go after the plagues, but even then went after Israel when they were on their way out of Egypt.
God said He hardened Pharaoh's heart, and in the same passage we see that God says, "Pharaoh" hardened his own heart, in response to all the troubles God was bringing upon him. God merely gave Pharaoh what he wanted, to motivate him to do what he did in chasing the Jews. He had a hard heart, so God hardened it further.
Because Pharaoh chased the Jews, they experienced God's miracles in their protection. Pharaoh's army was destroyed and Israel were free. And, to top it all off, Israel saw other miracles, their shoes didn't wear out the forty years in the dessert, they didn't have to trap or kill for food, they only had to gather what God sent every day.
Hardship should not be the focus in all these things, we ought to look back and see how God provided for His people the Jews, to know that He will provide for us too, because we have been grafted in, we belong to Him.
Just because we are "America", does not mean that we will escape what nearly every country of the world has experienced, take over and oppression. We have been sitting fat and happy for 250 years now without take over of the government, actually believing it couldn't happen here.
Those in high level political positions know that the only way it could happen would be through a "Trojan Horse", covert infiltration while dooping the people. We sat here gathering all our material goods, engaging in outrageous pride and all the while there was a plot to take us down. I hope you enjoyed all that pleasure, because very soon it will be taken away.
