Exodus 2:25  “He looked down on the Israelites and felt deep concern for their welfare.”

God knew what His people were going through.  He could see it, he heard it, he remembered his promise to Abraham and in the midst of the suffering he felt deep concern for what these people were struggling to endure.

It reminds me that God knows my struggles, he sees what is going on in my life, and he cares about my “stuff.”  He has deep concern for me and wants what is best for me.  He is concerned about my welfare, my decisions, every aspect of my life.  What’s crazy is that he cares more for me than I do.  That is a humbling thought.  It is also sobering and encouraging too.  Because God has deep concern for me, I need to respond daily with a desire to serve him, live for him, and do his will.  He is concerned for me.  I need to realize how awesome that is and keep that in perspective as I live each day.

Lord, thank you for your deep concern.  Thank you for your amazing love.  Keep me reminded, dear Jesus, of how much you gave on my behalf and help me to give back accordingly.  Father God may I care about what you care about and live today as an extension of you to others.
