So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.

Exodus 2

So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them. v25

God is not some distant being that is not active in our lives.  First, we must understand that he is always with us and He will never leave us.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:20

God love us...deeply.  We may not understand (Isaiah 55:8) what He is doing in our lives in the moment but whatever He is doing is for His glory and our good.

Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:13

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, I know that You are a God that never leaves us or forsakes us, nor do You stop loving us.  Thank You Jesus!  I am not worth such love as I continue to be selfish, etc. and other sin continues in my life.  Please forgive me and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
