August 7 – Exodus 5:1-14
Moses and Aaron obeyed God’s command to approach Pharaoh only for Pharaoh to
retaliate causing the Israelites to suffer even more afflictions. Their fear of Pharaoh not responding in a
positive way had proven to be right. How
do you think this left Moses and Aaron feeling?
Do you think they felt responsible for the Israelites’ pain?
They had followed God’s exact commands and yet Pharaoh imposed more suffering on
them. Do you think they wondered where
God was?
Have you prayed for something or someone and felt as if God has not heard you?
Think of it this way: you see something online that
you want to order. Sometimes the order
is shipped immediately. Other times your
shipment is promised in a week, two weeks, or maybe even a month. Sometimes you’re told your item is no longer
available and you will not be receiving it.
God always answers our prayers. Sometimes
the answer is immediate, other times we are called to wait and yet other times,
the answer is no.
It’s not until we are on the other side of the situation that we always understand
why the answer is no. Quite possibly, we
may not understand the answer until we get to Heaven.
Remember, regardless of the timing, God is in the situation and in every detail. Continue to pray with faithfulness and trust
that God hears you. We may not
understand the answer but be assured God wants only the best for you.
