The people bowed down and worshipped

“And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.” – Exodus 4v31

Moses and family travelled back to Egypt along with Aaron. The first thing they did was to go to the Israelites. Aaron spoke the words and God to the people letting them know that they had come back to deliver them from the Egyptians.

The Bible says next that they believed, bowed their heads, and worshipped God. They remembered their cries to God back in chapter two and knew that God had heard and answered their prayers. They did the right thing my immediately giving God the worship He was due.

It is easy enough to cry out to God when things are tough or when we are in affliction. Sometimes we do no do near as well when God responds, almost acting like that is just what He is supposed to do. These folks were still slaves; they had not seen any indication of their coming freedom other than the signs that they had seen.

Even more trustworthy than those signs is the written word of God. God has promised that He will be with us, meet our needs, and carry us through our afflictions. Is He not worthy of us believing, bowing down our heads, and worshipping Him? And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
