"Where is God now?"
It's a common question people ask when they go through hard times. In today's passage, I thought the perspectives of God's people were interesting here:
We were slaves;
yet even as slaves,
our God didn't abandon us.
This view of God--that He is present with us even through suffering--is not an easy view to have. But that doesn't mean it's not true.
In the New Testament, Jesus is known as Immanuel--God with us. If God is with us, it means He's always with us, that He's still with us when we are in trouble. It's pretty amazing that God's people could sense His presence, help and guidance while they were literally enslaved. Wow. God's still with His people no matter what.
