God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham,
with Isaac and with Jacob. So God looked
on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
Exodus 2:24-25
Did you hear that? God was concerned. The Israelites were in captivity and slavery
and they were crying out to God to rescue them.
They knew the covenant God had made and knew there would be a day of
freedom; they just didn’t know when. We
learn many times in the bible that God’s timing is the most important
thing. He has a reason for answering
prayer right away or for making us wait.
You might be waiting on God right
now for an answer and feel like you must have an answer soon; but please be
patient. God is working out all the fine
details and He is deeply concerned about our matters and desires and pain. There was a time my husband and I were in a
wilderness and we had to learn to just sit and wait for God. My husband was laid off and I was working a part
time job that didn't bring in much money.
With four children we just continued to pray our bills were met and
food was on the table. God was
faithful to us and we did not worry. Not
for once did I think God was not listening to our plea for a job; I had complete faith that He was concerned
about us and that’s why He continued to meet our needs and sustain us day to
day. I don’t want to be a groaner for the Lord; but someone who cries out with Praise and Thanksgiving! -CiCi-
