My dad leading worship....could always sing on key.
His replacement....used a pitch pipe.
But then things changed.
That's how I am, I know when i’m off key, but I don’t know how to find the right key…it’s like being in a different hotel, waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and looking for the light switch.
Stumbling around....feeling the walls and everything.
I have to think that looks pretty silly.
My dad explained it like this.
He had been leading worship a’Capella for 50 years.
HE had sung those songs over and over, he knew them.
He knew their sound.
Not what they sounded like, but he knew their sound.
David Olsen is a firefighter in Baltimore City.
He can tell yo the story better because I’ll probably leave out some facts.
But he has been sharing how he reads the bible more now, even at work.
He has shared how his relationship with Jesus has begun to change the way he sees things and people.
This is exactly what happens when we get close to Jesus.
But over time, he would tell me, I can learn to sing on key…it takes time to hear it before we sing it.
A couple of weeks ago, David went out on a call for a person in cardiac arrest.
When he arrived he found a woman had died and her husband trying to do CPR.
HE had to tell the husband that his wife was gone.
HE broke down right then and there.
But instead of just packing up his stuff and getting back in his bus.
David spent the next hour talking and praying with this man who’s world had just been turned upside down.
Why did David do such a thing?
Because he heard the cry.
Tension
This is how I believe most of us what our relationship with God to be.
We want to do the right thing, we want to live “good” lives whatever that is.
We wan tour lives to lign up with God's purposes for us.
But sadly, we often don’t hear God’s voice.
His call.
What is God thinking?
I can’t hear him for all the noise in my life.
Sadly, other times I just tune out.
I turn up the volume of other voices and ultimately I fail to hear God's still small voice.
Sadly, often times it is that which God wants me to hear that I tune out.
Today I’m speaking to you.
Well today
Actually, I”m going to share with you.
Because I don’t know how many times I get into my week and Thursday comes around and I have this long list of people I was going to call.
We often struggle to see ourselves as we truly are.
Often times it requires us to be seen.
Truth
This passage is the transition for the book.
We have seen Moses’ mom
We have seen Pharaoh’s daughter
We have seen Pharaoh himself
We have seen Moses and even his Father in law
For the first time we see God at work.
Here we find a description of the Character of God.
But first, let’s remember what’s happened.
Pharaoh turned up the pressure.
Moses interfered but was rejected.
but it did pave the way for Moses to return.
Silence, but God is at work.
You can imagine this right.
Now Pharaoh dies…hoping for relief…but no.
Change comes, and you are anticipating one sort of change…but then it’s not what you expected.
Pastor…knees...job…child…school…year
For the Hebrews, when they heard of Pharaoh’s death, many i’m sure had hopes that relief to their suffering would come…but then.
It didn’t.
But it did pave the way for Moses to return.
Silence, but God is at work.
What’s God doing in your waiting?
In your impatience?
In your perseverance?
WE can cry out but for some the cries are hope filled cries.
Their cry became a prayer.
Now it seemed that God was didn’t care
but here we see the character of God.
Misery
Examples of when we cry out
Tears have a voice
God hears
Often times our pain and grief aren’t expressed in words
times our pain and grief aren’t expressed in words
Examples of when we cry out
God remembers
Tears have a voice
God remembers
The story is always that God remembers…He never forgets us.
The story is always that God remembers…He never forgets us.
The common theme through scripture isn’t that the people
Moses, Noah, Adam and Eve, Joseph, David, even the disciples and the apostle Paul…pleased or displeased God.
The story is always that God is faithful to his promise.
We see it here.
that God heard the people’s cry and he acted on his promise.
Turned his attention to them
God Sees
Ra’ah…more than seeing with the eyes…a deeper sense of understanding…God understood them and their pain.
Ra’ah
Even though would not be considered righteous, God had made a covenant with their fathers.
That would be enough to cause God to
Often times, we may get in a painful moment and say things like, But I love you Lord, why do I have to suffer like this” as though because God has blessed us with faith in Jesus, he must not be aware of my situation.
I would remind us that God sees all
Knowing vs knowing
