God is NOT passive in his watching

History - Old Testament


S - Scripture
Exodus 3 v. 16  Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and Jacob has appeared to me, saying I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt.'

O - Observation
God sees and acts. God knows everything. He knows the number of hairs on my head, he knows my struggles and victories. He knows what has been done to me and others. But, unlike watching a news report or a show, God is not passive in his watching, he will get involved. He acts upon the things that are going on. Especially to one of his own. Matthew 6 v. 26, 'Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap or gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you NOT of more value than them?' Gods way of acting is by sending someone, and being with that someone. For Israel, Moses - for the World - Jesus.

A - Application
Are you the someone that God will use? Are you resisting being used by God?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Thanks for seeing and acting. Use me as you see fit.  Love Will.
