well today we’re bringing you a very short therapy in Theology and the reason it’s short is we intentionally want to give you something to hold on to when you are facing situations you just think I don’t know if I’m going to make it like this is hard in therapy and theology we talk a lot about hard situations hard relational Dynamics hard life Dynamics and you know sometimes we may just hit a day where you need something to return to where three people who care deeply about you shares just a negative wisdom of what we do
when we hit those spots we think we’re just not going to make it because we want you to know you are going to make it so of course I’m here with Dr Joel munamale and licensed professional counselor Jim Cress so who wants to go first on those days you think I’m not going to make it let’s just give our listeners a gift you are going to make it and here’s why um you’re not alone you know you’re not alone and you’re part of a story and that story is the story of God’s people and there’s a long history of people that have felt the exact same way that
you’re feeling I felt it on the both of you guys have felt it and there’s one scripture reference that I go back to often this is uh at the epicenter of the people of Israel’s just torment and torture in in Egypt under the oppression of pharaoh and I think they felt like that like I’m not gonna make it out this is horrific this is what uh Moses tells us that in Exodus 2 or 3 verse 7 it says and the Lord said I have observed the misery of my people in Egypt and I’ve heard them crying out because of their oppressors I know about their sufferings
and I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptian so those three descriptive words that God sees that God hears and that he knows and that those three realities let us know that he is a God who acts as well um and so we can know that’s true about God I love that Joel because I think it’s so comforting for us to know that God is Not Just omniscient omnipotent but he’s personal right and when he he looks at people he doesn’t just see a crowd he really not only sees but hears and cares deeply for the individual
