"It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them."
People demand a sign of God and they demand that there is no God, worshiping anything they please. Nathan Feuerstein (NF) summarized wavering belief well in the song, "Oh, Lord":
"It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "why ain't You listening?" Watching the news in our living rooms on the big screens And talking 'bout "if God's really real, then where is He?" You see the same God that you saying might not even exist Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed When ya healthy it's like, we don't really care for Him then Leave me alone God, I'll call you when I need you again Which is funny, everyone will sleep in the pews Then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do? It's hard to answer prayers when nobody's praying to you"
Yet, God continues to be patient and merciful, restoring entire nations at the right time.
