God Understands!?!

Exodus 2.24-25 God listened to their groanings. God remembered His covenant. God saw what was going on. God understood.

Understood? Understood! Understood?!?
He understood what? Their pain - their suffering - their tears? Their lack of undestanding why their God, who said they were His and taht He loved them, would allow such heartache and pain?

God understood exactly what it would take to get His people to pray - to cry out - to beg for God to intervene. God is a relational God - He is about reconciling us to Himself - that means restoring the relationship He had originally planned.

God misses the walks in the cool of the day. He misses hearing aobut the new discoveries. He longs to hear how the kids are - how the job is going - how life is treating you.

He wants you and I!

He understands that we don't, and won't, come to HIm when life is good. He knows taht we will give HIm lip service and make all kinds of promises when life is hard - only to fall back inot our normal ways once things turn around.

Yet, GOD UNDERSTANDS!!! He comes down to help us in our time of need - to set us free - to belss us beyond what we deserve, knowing full well that we will turn our backs on Him - that we will take control again when things calm down.

But, He still steps in and saves the day.

Prayer for Today:
God, I'm sorry for my anger. I'm sorry for my lack of trust in You. I'm sorry for acting like a spoiled brat and snatching the reigns of my life away from You at every turn. Please forgive me for my disobedience. Forgive me for not walking with You in the cool of the day - when life is good.
Open my heart to You! Thank You for hearing my cries and saving the day.
