“And God
remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.” Exodus
2:24
Where is God when you need Him? As a pastor and a
Christian I have heard that sad comment all too many times. God is supposed to
be at our beck and call to solve everything from a tummy pain to a fatal
disease; at least that is the theology behind the question. But when we are
truly suffering we are tempted to ask that question whatever our theology.
The children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. They were
being ruled by a genocidal government that sought their extinction. If God was
really God, where was He? He was there setting the stage for the magnificent
Exodus that both judged Egypt and established His glory in all the regions
around Egypt. He was there waiting for the time to be fulfilled that He had
sworn hundreds of years earlier to Abraham that would take place. And He
remembered His promise. And He will remember His promise of the return of Christ at the second Advent.
Dear Father, Thank You for giving promises and keeping
every one of them. Amen
