Meditate on verse 23.

Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. 

And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage,

and they cried out;

 and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

Exodus 2 is an action-packed chapter about the first 40 years of Moses’ life (Acts 7:17-29). He was one of the Hebrew babies saved at birth because of brave midwives like Shiphrah and Puah, who refused to kill baby boys (Exodus 1:15-17). After his birth, Moses’ family hid him from Pharaoh. Miraculously, he was found and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. The remainder of the chapter tells of Moses killing an Egyptian, Pharaoh trying to kill Moses, and Moses running for his life.

As Moses was saved and raised by God for even more adventure, the children of Israel remained in bondage to the Egyptians where they cried to the LORD for help. God heard their cry and noticed them.

Are you and/or someone you love in bondage? Are you a slave to sin? Are you controlled by something instead of Christ? God sees you and those you love. He is waiting for you to cry to Him for help.

Pray Exodus 2:23-25 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I am sighing and crying out

because ____________ and I are in bondage.

Let our cry for help rise up to You, God.

God hear our groaning,

and God remember Your covenant with us.

God see us and take notice of us.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
