Many things can make us feel like we’re forgotten, alone and suffering unfairly. A key lesson of the Torah reading שמות Shemot (“names,” Exodus 1:1–6:1) is the Creator of all that is, was and will be knows the deep, anguished cries of our hearts and has been actively working to set us free from the long downhill slide of the world.
Just as the LORD revealed His name, His character, to Moshe (Moses) at the burning bush, the Holy One of Israel revealed His character though the Word of the LORD made flesh — Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ).
Set free by the LORD’s Anointed from our bondage to the the ways of the world that are headed toward death, we can carry the memorial of the LORD’s character, great works and deliverance with us as ambassadors of the Messiah. We can give testimony on what He has done for us, our families and our friends with us everywhere we go, whether in person or virtually. As His reputation (name) reveals to us, God has shown up, does shows up and will show up.
