God Sees Everything — Andrew Forrest

Exodus 3:7-9

7 Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

Moses is in Midian because there was something about the oppression of the Israelites that provoked him to murderous action, and his murder caused him to have to flee Egypt. Here, Moses hears that God is concerned about the Israelites’ oppression, too. The deep passions of Moses match those of God.

What is it that really troubles you about the world? Could it be that God put that passion in you so that you would do something about it? How can your passions reflect those of God?
