Exodus 2:23-25 KJV
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
Even after the King of Egypt, who had begun the affliction of Israel, had died the affliction continued. It was not this man, it was a mentality that pervaded the whole of the land. The Jews were unwelcome in the land except under heavy bondage.
And it was in this affliction and bondage that they cried. And it was this cry that came up unto God.
None of us like affliction. But if affliction causes us to cry unto God then that affliction and bondage serves a grand purpose.
May God hear our cry today as we look to him!
