As we journey through Scripture, we move from Genesis to the book of Exodus. The opening chapters of Exodus find God's people being mistreated and crying out for help as they were captive in Egypt. What would God do for the people that He promised to bless?
The answer is profound. He came down to rescue His people. He came down and called a man, Moses, to lead the exodus to free His people. This is how God works. He isn't a distant, uncaring deity. He sees our needs. He hears our cries and he acts to meet our needs. This is a huge takeaway from the story of God and His people.
Now, for some things that I wish I said...
- God's eye, His ear, and His hand are actively working in our lives according to His plan.
- God looks at us with a loving eye, not a suspicious, vengeful one.
- His arm isn't too short to rescue because He is always with us and near us in times of need.
- Too many times, it's easier to live in the pool of self-pity rather than calling out to God for help.
- God still calls men and women to be a part of His rescue plan.
