God Knows Our Suffering

God Reveals
Exodus 3:7-12 (The Message)

 ^7-8 God said, "I've taken a good, long look at the affliction of my people in Egypt. I've heard their cries for deliverance from their slave masters; I know all about their pain. And now I have come down to help them, pry them loose from the grip of Egypt, get them out of that country and bring them to a good land with wide-open spaces, a land lush with milk and honey, the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
 ^9-10 "The Israelite cry for help has come to me, and I've seen for myself how cruelly they're being treated by the Egyptians. It's time for you to go back: I'm sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the People of Israel, out of Egypt."
 ¹¹ Moses answered God, "But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
 ¹² "I'll be with you," God said. "And this will be the proof that I am the one who sent you: When you have brought my people out of Egypt, you will worship God right here at this very mountain."

For Reflection
Time and time again no matter how often the people of Israel separate themselves from Him, God pulls them back into his grace and protection.  At times selecting the most unlikely candidate as his agent for the salvation of His people, God delivers.    What is revealed in the story of Moses that has meaning in your life?  Think of those who have brought messages that revealed God's intention for you.

Praise God for the revelations of his will in your life.   Thank Him for the messengers that have brought you to grow in the life God intends for you.
