Exodus 2:23-25
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.
"In the process of time"
Things grew worseJoseph died, the Pharaoh's also died and were replaced Joseph was forgotten. The Pharaoh's became increasingly oppressive to the Jews. Why the Jews did not leave sometime around the death of Joseph, I do not know. Perhaps they had grown comfortable where they were. But comfort, especially when it is outside of the place God has for you, is seldom long lasting.
Israel criedCrying is never our first choice but it is often the only way we will grow in our walk with the Lord. If our cries come up to God then thank God for those tears.
God remembered and had respect.Waiting on the Lord is never a fruitless work. While the whole of waiting implies that God's answers do not come in our time, God does have a perfect will and is at work among us.
"In the process of time"God will hear
God will remember
God will have respect and
God will answer
