Oh, heavenly Father, help us to feel Your peace
and comfort as we wait for Your answer, which we know is always the right
answer. Things sometimes don’t seem to
be working for us, but I know You are always on our side. Help me to realize that and to always be on
Your side. I sometimes find I expect You
to always be fighting for me, but how often do I fight for You. Help me see those times that You want me to
stand up for You against those who are speaking Your name in vain, or saying things
that I know are against You and Your word.
How it must grieve Your heart for me to expect so much and give so
little. Help me give my best to You
Father. You always deserve my very best!
In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
Over 400 years have passed since the children
of Israel moved to Egypt. And as we find
them here, even in the worst of times, God is there and hears their cries. He hears our cries. He knows what we are going through, and He
has a plan. I know sometimes it seems
that it takes forever to see Him move the direction we want, and sometimes He
moves in a totally different direction, but when He moves, it is always in the
best way, at the best time. It might not
be the easiest, as we will see as we continue in these verses, but God’s plan
is always best.
Think about the things that are easy,
though. They are seldom worth the time
spent. It is those things that are
tough, and the hard-won battles that teach us the most, and bring us to the
best place.
What are you battling today that you need relief
from and only God can help? Cry out to Him. He hears you.
Exodus 2:16-25
16 Now
the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew
water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 The
shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them,
and watered their flock. 18 When they came
home to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so
soon today?” 19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered
us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered
the flock.” 20 He said to his daughters, “Then
where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may eat
bread.” 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the
man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah. 22 She
gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have
been a sojourner in a foreign land.”
23 During
those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned
because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from
slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their
groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac,
and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of
Israel—and God knew.
