Promise 19 from Exodus 6:2-3a, 4a, 5a, 5c.

Ex. 6, 2-3a, 4a, 5a, 5c - "God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am the Lord; and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty.... I also established My covenant with them.... Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel... and I have remembered My covenant." - It's amazing how often God winds up having to remind His "chosen" people His identity. The pattern is; God gives the promise, tells them His plan, they get pumped up for a short while, they get discouraged and/or question God, then God tells them again who He is and reminds them of the covenant promise. It happens every time; to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and now Moses. Joseph, the one who really had a reason to question God, is the only one that never did. God never had to remind him who He was. I don't think, however that God really minds reminding His children who He is, because He is a comforting King and a compassionate Father. He hears the cry of His children and remembers His covenant. Lord, May I not forget who You are and constantly trust in my El Shadddai!
