Generations lived through slavery, divided broken kingdoms, military defeat and exile, and many wondered if their prayers were heard. Where was God’s hand in all the mess? But he heard their groans, and he continually saved and preserved them. And in the midst of the pain and tragedy, a promise was being kept. A promise made to Abraham, then to Jacob and then to David: that all nations would be blessed through their descendant. In the midst of the senseless violence, heart-breaking tragedy and horrific injustice in our world, we can also gaze at the heavens, wondering where God is. But the one who preserved a line for millenia through all the turmoil of history that tried to crush it, is still active today. Will we trust Him?
