In what ways can we trust God's timing, as seen in Exodus 2:25? Exodus 2:25 in Context “God saw the Israelites, and God took notice.” • Israel groaned under slavery (v. 23) • God heard their cry, remembered His covenant, saw their plight, and took notice—four deliberate acts timed to launch Israel’s deliverance through Moses What God Is Doing While We Wait • Hearing – “The LORD heard…” (v. 24) • Remembering – His covenant anchors every action (Genesis 15:13-14) • Seeing – Nothing escapes His eye (Psalm 33:13-15) • Knowing – “God understood” (literal rendering) points to intimate involvement (Hebrews 4:13) Reasons We Can Trust His Timing Today • Covenant Faithfulness – He keeps promises exactly when they ripen (Joshua 21:45) • Sovereign Control – “There is an appointed time for everything” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) • Compassionate Awareness – “Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7) • Redemptive Purpose – Delay often prepares a greater salvation, as with the cross: “When the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son” (Galatians 4:4) • Perfect Wisdom – “The Rock, His work is perfect” (Deuteronomy 32:4) Living in the Light of His Perfect Timing • Wait expectantly—Psalm 27:14 • Obey presently—John 14:15 • Pray persistently—Luke 18:1 • Rest confidently—Isaiah 40:31 Key Verses to Anchor Our Hearts • Isaiah 55:8-9 – His ways higher than ours • 2 Peter 3:9 – Not slow but patient • Genesis 18:14 – “At the appointed time” Because God hears, remembers, sees, and knows, Exodus 2:25 assures us that His timing is never late, never early, always perfect—worthy of full trust today. |
