35 “God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.”

 Exodus 2:25

 The children of Israel were being oppressed in Egypt and their predicament was noticed by the Lord. He saw their suffering and acknowledged it. He saw how the slave masters drove His people to work so hard and under such oppression that He had compassion on them.

 It can seem to us that God does not notice our sufferings and hardship and even when we pray He does not seem to alleviate the pains. We must trust in  Him and His timing for the deliverance from our dilemmas and heartaches. He does not permit us to suffer without comforts and does not leave us to suffer indefinitely.

 The children of Israel cried out to God in their grief and God heard and answered their prayers. He was preparing His servant Moses to be the mouthpiece to Pharaoh so that His people would be set free from their slavery.

 God always understands our grief and has given us the Word of God that we might be comforted and made strong in His sure promises. He is a reliable God and will carry out His will so that all things work for the good of His people and for the growth of His church, the bride of Christ. Let us not be found to be doubters that find it hard to believe the Word, but that we will overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit working through the Word of God.

 God provides for us in the greatest of hardships.
