Exodus chapter 6 verse 5.

Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered

my covenant.

This verse is so beautiful when you think about it.

Here are God's people as slaves in Egypt,

and they're suffering,

and they don't understand why this is happening.

They've been there a long time and God says,

I hear their groaning, I hear their cries and I remember my covenant.

Obviously God is omniscient he doesn't forget anything but here he is saying, I know, I have promised to bring them out of this.

And so what flows from this in verses, six, seven, and eight is just a litany of promises.

God says over and over and over again, I will, I will, I will, ultimately I will be faithful to my promise.

And I share this first because I am pretty confident.

There's some people who are listening to this right now who are in the middle of a valley

A trial a struggle hurt pain suffering in a variety of different ways.

And if that's you, I just want to remind you

that the God of the universe, the Creator of all,

sustainer of all, he hears your cries your groans and he knows the promises he has made to you. He has not forgotten them and he will he will he will

show himself faithful to those promises.

So look to him, cry out to him,

cry out to him day and night,
