Exodus 2:24 NIV
The first two chapters of Exodus lay the foundation for the delivery to come. This verse, at the end of chapter 2, indicates that God is ready to act in delivering his people. But God has been working behind the scenes all along. He blessed and multiplied Israel even when they were being treated harshly. He blessed and protected the midwives who refused to obey Pharaoh. He protected Moses in his birth and childhood. God is not in a hurry.
I get impatient. I'm ready to take immediate action. God, however, seems to take his time. He doesn't get anxious. He doesn't get impatient. Yet he perfectly accomplishes his purpose his way in his time to his glory and our good. Father, give me the grace to wait on you and the discernment to know when it's time to act.
God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.
