Thought for the Week
The LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.” God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD [YHWH, the I AM] I did not make myself known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant (Exodus 6:1-5, ESV).
Moses had asked the question, “Why?” (Exodus 5:22). But God answers the question, “Who?” God reminds Moses that He is the Almighty I AM, who knows Israel’s trouble and will be faithful to His covenant.
So it is when you face disappointment and your plans get derailed. You don’t need to know the answer to the question WHY as much as you need to be reminded about WHO God is.
When our daughter, Elizabeth, was seven years old, we had to take her to the doctor’s office for some blood tests. On the way, mom explained to her that the doctor was going to take some blood and that it would hurt, but it was necessary so they could find out what was making her feel so bad. We always had a policy with our children to explain the reasons why certain things had to be done, so mom was doing her best to explain medical procedures to a 7-year-old. Well, when the nurse got out the needle to draw blood, Elizabeth no longer cared about the reason why. She just wanted her momma and clung to her like super glue.
You see, real comfort does not come in knowing the reason why. It comes in knowing the Comforter, the Almighty I AM Himself. So cling to the Lord when you face disappointment and trust Him for who He is.
