The Birth of Moses

Scripture:

Exodus 1 & 2

Specifically 2:25 “God saw the people of Israel -- and God knew.”


Observation:

God knew!

Think for a moment about all that entails. God knew the persecution His people were under. God knew their deliverer (Moses) had been born. God knew His people were (perhaps finally!) at the end of their own devices and were crying out to Him for deliverance. God knew He had a marvelous, beautiful plan to free His people from their bondage. God knew that His plan was bigger than Moses and the people of Israel, and God knew that the depths of His love would be displayed on the cross. God “heard their groaning” and He “remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob” (v. 24). He saw and He knew.


Application:

God knows! He knows what’s happening in our lives, and He knows how it fits into His plan for our good. He knows! And we can trust Him to “work all things together for good to those who love God....”


Prayer:

“With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart’s in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more

Yet I trust in this moment
You’re with me somehow
And You’ve always been faithful
So Lord even now

When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise

Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
And I will worship You and give You thanks

Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah”
