Four hundred years. It took 400 years for God to hear the people\u2019s cry, and we complain when we don\u2019t get an answer within 24 hours! (Although many people think the Israelites lived as slaves 400 years in Egypt, it was actually much shorter. The 400 years started sometime during Abraham\u2019s life \u2013 and possibly the night God told him his offspring would be slaves for a period of time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exodus 2 says the people groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. It doesn\u2019t even say they cried out to God. It just says they cried out to be rescued,and God heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, all we can do is cry out. We\u2019re not certain what the problem is, and we definitely don\u2019t know the answer many times. The reality is it does not matter. God knows, and He hears our cry for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible even says the Holy Spirit helps us when we don\u2019t know what to pray \u2013 Romans 8:26-27. The amazing thing is God\u2019s answer to their prayer paved the way for all people to be blessed through the ultimate Passover Lamb who died once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you don\u2019t have to wait 400 years for an answer, but remember, when you cry out to God, He hears and He answers \u2013 in His time, in His way, and for your ultimate good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
