What is this going to cost me? | Exodus 2

Main message: God is not passive in the face of injustice — he hears, remembers, sees, and knows the suffering of his people — and Christians should respond to injustice in ways shaped by God (righteous anger when called for) and sustained practices that keep them connected to him in hardship.

Key points:

• God’s heart for justice is clear; righteous anger can be appropriate.
• Discernment and being Spirit-led determine when to act quickly and when to wait.
• Practical ways to stay engaged with God in suffering include moving and talking to God, taking inventory of stresses/feelings, and avoiding isolation.
• Personal cost calculations can keep people from stepping into justice; acknowledge that tension honestly.
• Exodus 2:24 offers comfort: God hears the groaning, remembers his covenant, sees, and knows his people.
