Too Discouraged to See God at Work

By Paula Wiseman

Too Discouraged to See God at Work

Exodus 6:9 “When Moses told this to the Israelites, they were too discouraged and mistreated to believe him.” (CEV)  

Moses told them God had heard.
He was marshaling His mighty power on their behalf, fulfilling His promises, pouring out His grace.  

And they couldn’t see it.  
All they knew was their situation and how it left them.  
Discouraged.
Despondent.
Beaten down.
Broken.  

They couldn’t see His hand in their circumstances,
and yet, He was doing far more than they asked.    

Is He working on my behalf in ways I can’t see?
Is He working on your behalf in ways you can’t see?  

Yes.

Don’t believe me – pray like Elisha 2 Kings 6:17 “Open my eyes that I may see.”
