Exodus 3:7, “The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.”
In this passage in Exodus, God informs Moses that He is very much aware of the needs of the children of God. He “sees” their misery, and He “hears” their crying out, and He is “concerned” for their well-being. In our suffering, we often reach a crisis of faith, where we may question the love of God. Common questions we may ask ourselves are, “Can He see my misery?”, or “Doest God hear my cries of despair?”, or “Does God really care?” Though these thoughts are common as we reach a crisis of faith, we must believe God’s Word to us.
In our pain and grief, we would do well to remember that God does see us in our grief and suffering, God does hear us in our cries of despair, and God does care! He is concerned for His children. He really is! Though He cannot remove the pain of grief, He loves us still, and He comes alongside us to comfort us while we grieve. We have a God who loves us! He sees us in our struggles! He hears our cries! And, He cares!
