The Lord Sees You

“And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.” – Exodus 4:31 I was reading in Exodus last night, and it talked about Moses and Aaron going to the Israelites in Egypt and sharing with them God’s message of deliverance. When they found out that God cared about them, and hadn’t forgotten about them, they bowed down and worshiped. They hadn’t been delivered at this point…they were just praising God, because he called someone to let them know that he still loved them. Because they no longer doubted His love, they were able to trust Him to bring the freedom he promised. I often get caught up in my worries and problems. I have trouble being thankful, because I feel like I am alone in my struggles. When I read this verse last night, it really struck a chord with me. The fact that an almighty God, who oversees the entire universe, is concerned with what is going on in MY little life, is incredible. The fact that He looks down at my situation, cares about me, and has a plan for my life---that is more than enough reason to bow down and worship him. Even in the midst of my pain. Are you caught in the middle of a struggle, and feeling like God has forgotten you? Just remember, the Lord is concerned about you and has seen your misery. He has a plan of redemption, and healing comes through praise. Amen!
