Dearly Beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The Blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Exodus 3: 7, 8, “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. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey. ”
From the above context we learn that God has come in the midst of you to redeem you from the hands of those who persecute you, like the Egyptian task masters, who tortured the people of Israel for 430 years. You may have gone through bitter experiences and God wants to deliver you from such kind of people and liberate you from fear and threat. Some of you have been troubled by your own husbands. Instead of keeping you happily they have tortured you. And you have suffered much in their hands. Today many wives torture their husbands. Many men are suffering silently in their hands, because of family prestige, family respect, and because of their good nature. Both husband and wife should love each other and respect each other, for what they are. Only then you can enjoy a peaceful family life. Where there is no unity there arises several problems and as a result the children suffer.
Often I have heard the husband or the wife complain about one another. The husband will say, “I have been sick but my wife doesn’t care for me.”There should be better understanding between each other, to lead a happy family. The wife might say, “I have been coughing from morning but my husband has ignored me.”My dear children of God, any one may ignore you, but the Lord knows what you are going through. The Lord says, “I will see it.”It does not matter who sees or does not see your problems, God sees your affliction. He hears the cry you make, while you struggle, in the hands of cruel people. There was a man called Jonah, he was in trouble, so he cried out to God, from the belly of a huge fish in the deep sea. He says. “Lord I cried out from the belly of hell, You heard me.”That means God will hear you from wherever you cry out for help. It does not matter if you are in the middle of the deep sea, or you are caught up or stuck in some deadly trap. Since Jonah was inside the belly of the fish, no one could see him. But the Lord saw him. And having heard his cry, he caused the fish to vomit him on the shores of the sea.
God in the same manner will hear your cry and answer you speedily. No matter how big your problem might be, He is able to save you to the uttermost. The Lord says, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify me.’’ Again, He says, ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ God will solve all your problems. Just as God solved the problem of Jonah, God will solve your problem too. But you need to cry unto the Lord just as he cried from the belly of the fish. He will not only hear your cry but also rescue you from the difficult situation that you are caught up with. For with God it is a very trivial thing to do for you. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, we thank You for saving Jonah from the belly of the fish. Teach us to cry out to God when we are in distress. We also remain grateful for saving the children of God from the hands of cruel people. Lord save us from being tortured by our own people. We are unable to share our affliction with others. You are God who hears our cry and also sees our brokenness of heart. Rescue us from those who torment us.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
