Are You Going to do Anything About This?

Today is Palm Sunday. It seems unreal that we are having to meet together online, but that is where we find ourselves. It’s the reality of our day, and only the hand of God at work will bring it to a conclusion. My text this morning may seem a bit odd when it comes to a Palm Sunday message. However, by the end you will see that it ties in beautifully with this important date on the Christian calendar, and it speaks to where we are presently.

On any given day you can find headlines that make you wonder what God is doing in the world. It seems like every day we hear of more bad news. Politicians, scientist, doctors, and religious leaders are searching for the answer to the crisis our world finds itself in. The question that many people are asking the Lord is this, “Are You Going to do Anything About This?”

Moses must have wondered many times the same question as he thought of God’s people enslaved and mistreated under the godless pharaoh of Egypt. But there came a day in the life of Moses as he tended the flocks that God Himself came to answer and let Moses know what He was doing in the world and that He cared.

Moses had tried in his own power to remedy the plight of his people with disastrous consequences. The deliverance of his people would not come through human strength alone; it would require the supernatural power of God. But before God ever began to move on the situation, there needed to be a cry from the people to come up to Him.
