Exo 3:7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
Exo 3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light, than when He is spoken of as stooping from His throne and coming down from Heaven to attend to the wants and woes of His redeemed people.
How can we but love Him when we know that He numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks all our paths, and orders all our ways?
Especially is this great truth brought near to our heart when we recollect how attentive He is, not merely to the spiritual interests of His people but to their temporal concerns as well.
Though leagues of distance lie between the finite creature and the infinite Creator yet there are links uniting both.
When a tear is wept by you do not think that God does not behold it;
Psa 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Your sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah...
Your whisper can incline His ear unto you...
Your prayer can stay His hand...
Your faith can move His arm!
Do not think that God sits on high taking no account of you.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him.
