sermon 20.
The god that sees your troubles
A sermon preached on 12th June, 2017.
“O Jacob, how can you say the LORD does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?”─ Isaiah 40:27 NLT.
T
oday, know that anyone who worships God must have confidence in him, and know that he sees his troubles. You must believe that your troubles are always known by God. He sees you when you stand up at that moment of your troubles, he sees you when you sit down in gloom with a broken heart weighed down by worries of life, weeping as your troubles are raging like a turbulent sea, he sees you even when you have money or food to eat, he sees you when your employer has finally terminated your job, he sees you when your spouse is no more your spouse, he sees you even when the whole world has turned against you, and he sees you as you moan over your health condition. Then why should you say God does not see your troubles? Why should you say God has forgotten anything about you? Are you an unmarried lady? Why should you feel that God is unaware of your seeming problem of getting married? In all, know that God sees you even your problems and he is not silent over them, and you should not misplace your confidence in him. He’ll surely grant you justice over your troubles. Now hear the LORD talking to you─
“I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in TROUBLE. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”─ Psalm 91:15-16.

Are you in trouble now? Have you ever called on GOD, cry to him for rescue? God has promised to answer, and honor you and will reward you with a long life and give you his salvation. Why do you complain again? But rather make your problems be known to God, and he’ll make laughter to burst out from your mouth.
Didn’t you know when Isaac was in trouble, when his father was taking him for sacrifice, didn’t God see his trouble? Didn’t God rebuke Abraham not to lay his hand on his son? Didn’t God rescue Isaac from immolation? Then, why would your mind wander away from the true God, the God of ages? Why should you bath with tears all the day long feeling that God has forsaking you?
By the time God met Hagar in a wilderness as she was running away from Sarah her mistress, she said, “You are the God who sees me.”─ Gen. 16:13. Perhaps she was feeling before that God did not know about her trouble, how she suffered in the hand of Sarah, her mistress.
You may be maltreated by your boss, employer, master, or mistress, one thing you should know is that God sees you, and knows what you’re going through. But he’ll not allow the spirit of servitude to overwhelm you. You shall be liberated from the troubles you are now for I am what I am has said it. He’ll deliver you and give you a long life. May God act in your favor and give you justice over your troubles in the name of Jesus. Amen!
