Isaiah 63:9
In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel of his presence saved them.
In his love and mercy he redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them
all the days of old.
Dear friend,
It's humbling to think that God the creator of the universe cares so much for us, that He is distressed when we are distressed. In Exodus 3:7 God tells Moses that He heard the cries of His people and knows of their suffering. The Hebrew here implies that He has a personal feeling of tenderness and compassion for His people. He is troubled by our anguish and wants to lift us up and carry us away!
In His love and mercy He redeems us, each and every day! God has a tender place in His heart for each of us. He personally cares when we suffer and endure trials.
Lord, I pray that however we may be distressed today or in the days to come, that we take comfort in Your deep love for us, knowing that You will lift us up and carry us in your arms, to a place of refuge and peace that can only be found in You. Amen!
Because of Christ,
-Robert
