READ: Exodus 6:1-9
Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid. Matthew 14:27
Scientists in the UK have calculated that the most depressing day of the year comes in the third week of January. Winter days are dark and cold, holiday excitement has worn off just as Christmas debts are coming due, and New Years resolutions have all been broken. The celebrations, gift-giving, and good intentions that once made us feel happy now press us down and leave us feeling hopeless.
Long ago in Egypt, the Hebrew people had high hopes that Moses would rescue them from slavery. But their hopes were dashed when Moses good intentions led to worse conditions for them. Instead of gaining freedom, the people were pressed even harder by slave drivers who demanded that they produce the same amount of bricks with fewer resources.
Moses cried out to the Lord, Since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all (Ex. 5:23). As Moses and the Hebrew people were about to learn, Gods rescue plans sometimes dont kick in until all hope seems to be gone.
If the circumstances of your life seem to be going from bad to worse, sending you into depression and despair, remember that God always hears and answers our criesbut its in His time, not ours.
