“The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God… ‘I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.’” ~ Exodus 2:23; 6:5
The Israelites were in misery, and they cried out to God, and He heard their cry and saw their misery and came to their rescue. I ask you, will He do any less for you? The only right answer is, “No, He won’t.” Keep crying out to God. He hears and sees, and He is concerned about you. So don’t be fooled into interpreting God’s (perceived) slowness to answer your prayers, for His lack of concern. God is concerned, and He cares for you, you are not a number or a statistic to Him. You are His child redeemed with His own shed blood. You are special, there is only one you and God wants you to be with him for all eternity. Don’t give up, in time God will come to your rescue and your victory will be sweet.
My Heavenly Father, many are groaning under the torment of others. Still, others are oppressed and harassed by the enemy. Even more, still are under the bondage of the evil one. Men and women are crying out to You for help today. Hear their cry, listen to their groaning, see their distress, and be moved with compassion and concern for them as You were moved for Your people, the Israelites. Come down and rescue them I prayer, and give them strength to hold on for a little while longer. Let them not lose heart or give up too soon, but keep them strong and faithful. For It is You who strengthens or weakens, it is You who exalt or abase, it is You who gives and takes away, it is You who rescues, and no one can deliver out of Your hand. Give peace today and bring deliverance in Jesus name I pray, amen.
