During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. God saw the people of Israel--and God knew. Exodus 2:23-25 (ESV)
Today, one of my wife's best friends died suddenly. She was a wife and mother with another child on the way. It has been a hard day.
What has made the day especially hard has been thinking about her husband. While we still have each other, he is mourning all alone. What comfort can we give him; what comfort do we take for him ourselves?
The cry went up to God – God hears, God sees, God knows. He isn’t deaf, blind, or ignorant to our pain.
