Exodus 4: Believing Without Seeing

and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped. -Ex. 4:31 NIV

All the leaders of the Israelites needed was to hear that God had not forgotten them.  They were in much direr straights than most of us find ourselves; slaves in a foreign land being worked mercilessly.  Even in the midst of their trials, knowing that God was concerned about them was enough to make them bow down in worship.  Can we say that we do the same thing in the midst of our misery, or do we have to see the answer before we can fully worship God.  It should be enough for us to just know that God is on our side, but most of us put the cart before the horse.  We want to see proof of God, proof of his love, proof of his intervention in our lives before we can truly worship.  God has told us he is concerned about us, he has told us that he cares.  That should be cause enough for us to bow down.  That should be the only reason we need for worship
