God heard them

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. – Exodus 2.23-25

After a while the king died and the people were still in bondage. Their slavery was severe and the cried out for relief. And the wonderful thing is that God heard them. God Was not about to forget His people or His promises to them.

There was a problem. God’s people called out to God. God heard them and kept His promises.

That principle was not only for the Hebrew people in Egypt. God does not forget His people. God keeps His promises. He is the God who cannot lie so if He says it He will do it.

That means that all the promises of God that He has made for me will be kept. ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness will all the things will be added to you.’ “God knows what you need.’ ‘My God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.’ ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’ ‘Be care-ful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and thanksgiving let your request be made known to God and the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds.’ ‘The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who trust Him.

God knows the groanings of our hearts today. He is not going to turn away or forsake us. He won’t forget us.

Can I trust Him to remember His promises to me – or will I choose to doubt His ability or His will to do what He says?
