The Israelites were enslaved and mistreated by the Egyptians for 400 years. Four hundred bitter years of pain, anguish, and shame. Four hundred years of wondering, "Where is God? Why does God ignore us? Why has God abandoned us?" We must know this about God. He is the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who cares. We can identify with the suffering of the Israelites. In our lives, there are periods of pain, fear, and anguish. At times, we too wonder: Does God care? Does God see? Has God abandoned me? EXODUS 3- verse 7 – THEN THE LORD SAID “ I HAVE SEEN HOW CRUELLY MY PEOPLE ARE being treated in Egypt; I have heard them cry out to be rescued from their slaved. I know all bout their sufferings. God is with us not against us. Seek his kingdom and you will have eternal peace - Fabiola Dos Ramos
