Summary

Parashat Yitro The journey of faith involves more than just being rescued from difficult circumstances. It leads us into an ever-deepening relationship with God Himself. Through examining the Torah portion Yitro and the traditional Passover song Dayenu, we discover that while each of God’s mighty acts would have been sufficient from our perspective, God’s character compels Him to continue revealing Himself completely to His people. He doesn’t stop halfway because His nature as Hashem, the Compassionate One, drives Him to fulfill every promise. The story of two blind men crying out to Jesus in Jericho illustrates why God desires us to bring our needs to Him. Just as an earthly father feels something special when his children specifically ask for help, our heavenly Father wants us to know He is near, cares deeply, and responds to our cries. This isn’t just about getting problems solved faster. It’s about building relationship, trust, and understanding that He genuinely cares for His children. When Jethro heard about God’s works for Israel, he came to witness firsthand not just the dramatic rescue from Egypt, but God’s ongoing provision – turning bitter water sweet, providing manna, giving Sabbath rest, bringing water from rocks, and granting victory over enemies. This led Jethro from recognizing God’s power to understanding His personal care and covenant faithfulness. The post A God Who Cares appeared first on Emmaus Road Fellowship.
