I heard there cries

Exodus 6:5-8

5 "I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved; and I have [earnestly] remembered My covenant [with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].

⁶Accordingly, say to the Israelites, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you from their bondage, and I will rescue you with an outstretched arm [with special and vigorous action] and by mighty acts of judgment.

⁷And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that it is I, the Lord your God, Who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁸And I will bring you into the land concerning which I lifted up My hand and swore that I would give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage. I am the Lord [you have the pledge of My changeless omnipotence and faithfulness]."

Well first off what do you say? What can you say. How humbled we really are. This is in the sixth chapter of Exodus. Moses has already been to the burning bush and has come back demanding the freedom of his people. When Moses tells Pharaoh this he does not listen and instead put a heavier burn on Israel, because of Moses's action. Moses than goes to God asking why? To which God replied this.

What we say? These three verses mean so much to me. I was reading exodus and these three verses just melted my heart. Moses goes to Pharaoh for the first time and he gets denied. Then he goes to Israel and then gets denied. Moses takes his denial to God, who reminds Him that He has heard there cries. How do we view God and does our view limit His ability to save us? For four hundred years Israel view of Gods covenant was that it wasn't practical, then for some reason they realized that they don't have to deal with bondage. God is not passive, but He is aggressive. He heard and came looking for His people. Searching and seeking for them. When Moses came with confusion and doubt God shoved that (Exodus 6:5-8) in His face. Our God is so confident and bold, yet we confine Him to be meek, weak, and uninformed of our present situation. How I need deep conviction to see God as He is. How thirsty is my heart for humility. I long for the deep satisfaction of my creator's hands on me.

"Lord set me free from chains of my bondage. And give me the balls to speak your thoughts"
