Exodus 2:24-25

"God heard their groaning; God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. God saw the Israelites, and God understood" (Exodus 2:24-25)

"I am the God of your father-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God" (Exodus 3:6).

When the odds are against you, expect the unexpected.
God remembers everything and never forgets His promises.
