Exodus 3:9-10 “Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

God always hears a cry for deliverance!  Here, early on in the Scriptures we read in Exodus that the Israelites were in bondage for about 400 years.  The very fact that they were in bondage was because of their sin against God.  However…(isn’t great when there’s a however!), God saw their oppression and heard their cry and he sent Moses to be their deliverer.

When it came to delivering his children, God pulled out all the stops.  He changed weather patterns, modified the behavior of animals, sent plagues, sent fire from heaven, etc. – He went all out!  His kids needed Him and He was VERY serious about getting their out of their bondage.  Through God’s help, Moses was able to free the slaves and God’s people eventually found their way to a Promised Land.

As happens many times, history has repeated itself.  Man has time and time again found new and interesting ways to sin against God.  As new cries for deliverance reached the throne, God decided that He was going to BECOME our deliverer!  He stepped down and became a man to undo the works of the devil and set us free.  Your cries for deliverance are important to God and they speak to the reason that He came to earth: To set at liberty those that were bound and restore that which was lost: The Kingdom of God and our citizenship in it!
