Exodus 3:7-8 (ESV)

Originally published 01/24/2015

When we go through troubled time, we feel alone and isolated, but for those who submit to the authority of God it is different. "Then the LORD said, 'I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and heard their cry because of their taskmasters, I know of their suffering, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians...'" Exodus 3:7-8 (ESV). If we have submitted our lives to God's control, we may feel alone because the Devil will tell us we are alone, but we are not. God sees our needs, hears our prayers, and has plans for our rescue from the problems we have. Lord, when times of discouragement and trouble come, remind me that, if I am obedient, you will take care of me.
