"And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years--on that very same day--it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt."
God's covenant people were in Egypt for a long time. Sometimes, we have to languish in far-less-than-ideal conditions for a good while, too. But in God's perfect time--to the very day, to be exact--He delivers His church from whatever it is that afflicts her.
Let us be thankful that we live in the day in which we do. At the same time, let's be diligent to pray: asking God to revive His church, in His good time--for the glory of His Name, and the extension of His kingdom.
[Puritan quote of the day: "The purpose of the Scripture is to help believers to obtain assurance." --Thomas Brooks, in "Heaven on Earth"]
