11/26/13 Exodus 6:5 The Lord Hears Your Groanings

Exodus 6:5 (NAS)

And furthermore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage; and I have remembered My covenant.

 

                Exodus 6:5 (NIVUS)

 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.

You are a child of God, your Father,  who is always listening for your voice.  He pays constant attention to you, for you are an esteemed member of His house.  He understands every sound that you make, whether in joy, sorrow, or pain.  The Lord your God is always quick to come to your aid, when you cry out to Him.
 
You may feel besieged and in distress.  Enemies may have crossed your borders and have enslaved you.  In bondage you are made to serve another, who is opposed to Yahweh.  All that you can do is groan and yet the Almighty God hears.
 
He will remember the covenant made through the blood of Yeshua.  He recognizes that you are a prince of God, one who was created to rule and reign in His Kingdom.  When He sees your distress, He will rescue you once more.  He will give you the power and strength to prevail against your bondsman, for you are in covenant with the Most High.
