Exodus 3 -- The Kind Of God We Have
**** This is the final quiet time posted on my OLD blog site (http://www.timewithgod.blog-city.com/) ****
**** All future quiet times will show up here on http://www.godsaidtoday.blogspot.com/ ****
When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, He proved Himself to be a God personally involved with His people:
"I have seen the troubles My people have suffered in Egypt, and
I have heard their cries when the Egyptian slave masters hurt them.
I am concerned about their pain, and
I have come down to save them from the Egyptians.
I will bring them out of that land and
lead them to a good land with lots of room - a fertile land ...
I have heard the cries of the people of Israel, and
I have seen the way the Egyptians have made life hard for them. So now
I am sending you to the king of Egypt. Go!
Bring My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt!"
He wasn't sitting up in heaven, aloof and unconcerned about what happens on this planet, the way many would believe today. He cares, and He hurts when we hurt. And He loves us very much!
Father, as much as Moses and the people of Israel would come to know You over the next 40 or so years, they could not have conceived of the love You would show thousands of years later when you would offer Your Son for our sins on the cross. Although I would have loved to have seen Your love through the miracles they would witness, I'm so glad that I get to see You from the other side of the cross. Your Son's sacrifice and Your raising Him back to life make the rest pale in comparison!
