God knows

’’…for I know their sorrows’’(Exodus 3:7).

The comfort of God's children in sorrows is this: the Lord knows their sorrows. If I don't know the causes of my sorrows, if I don’t know the way out of my troubles, I will be peaceful knowing that my Father knows. He not only knows, but also can and wants to deliver me of  my sorrows. The Lord himself says, I know. The "I know" He said gives me assurance in the many "I don't know"-s I said. Sorrows will not discourage me if I remember that He is aware of my sorrows.

If He knows my sorrows, I will show my trust in Him by patience, by thankfulness and peacefulness.
