God sees and hears

Lamentations 3:58–59 (NIV): 58 You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life. 59 LORD, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!

Often, we go through miserable times. But there are people who go through worse, much worse. It’s so bad that some things, once seen, can not be unseen. Yet we have seen examples in Scripture where God saw and heard the cries of those who were mistreated like Hagar in the case of Sarah or the oppressed Israelites in Egypt. Hagar was an Egyptian slave girl to Sarah and thus a foreigner. But God heard her and saw her plight: Genesis 16:13 NKJV: Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?”

The message this morning is whether we are the ones facing miserable situations or others. Know that God sees and hears. He will, in His time, bring us relief and alleviate our circumstances. There may be times when He will choose us to be the vessels of His grace. Go and see someone to comfort and encourage. Send some money over for them to tide over their difficult times. It could be just RM100 like PMX’s SARA aid. For those without any money at all, RM100 will be helpful for them to buy some basic necessities.

I don’t know what each of us is going through. We all have our struggles in life. Struggles at work or in our spiritual life. Or just not having work and needing to deplete our savings. God sees and hears. He knows exactly what we are going through. His justice is on the way. He will redeem us as He has seen the wrong done to us!

Have a good week ahead, everyone! May His infinite blessings be upon us in His grace and mercy! Amen!
