“You Saw the Affliction…”

May 13, 2020

“You Saw the Affliction…”

Blessings folk!

The Levites led the people of the Lord in confessing their sins.

We saw previously that they spoke of all the Lord had done for/through Abraham.

They prayed…

Neh 9:9a
“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,…

The Lord heard the affliction of His people when they were slaves in Egypt.
He delivered them.

Think about this for a moment.

The Word tells us that they were in bondage for 400 years.

The Lord told Abram…the Word confirms…

Gen 15:13
God said to Abram,
“Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs,
where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.

Act 7:6
“But God spoke to this effect, that his DESCENDANTS WOULD BE ALIENS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.


Their affliction and slavery had been told in advanced.
They would know this.
The Lord knew their affliction.
Yet He waited.
Their affliction increased.
They cried the more.
Yet He waited.

Why?
For His purpose..
For His glory.
For His time.
He is God.
He is Lord.
He is maker of all.
He is over all.

Be patient.
Seek the Lord
Yes, cry to the Lord.
Aggressively, patiently wait upon the Lord.

We are His.

Be strong.
Be bold.
Fear not…

…by the way…

Do not believe the lies of man.
Learn the truth.
