And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians… Exodus 3:7-8

Four truths about God that are encouraging when we cry out to Him in our troubles:

First, God sees us in our sufferings—do not think He is unaware.

Second, God hears our cries—so cry out to Him!

Third, God knows our sorrows—He not only knows, He understands.

Fourth, God cares, and therefore He acts—not always according to our timetables and not necessarily exactly how we may desire, but He always does what is best at precisely the right time.

What a good, gracious, wise, and mighty God we serve!
