In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes that God is not just a passive observer of our struggles and suffering. He takes action to deliver His people from their hardships. The preacher also highlights the importance of not getting too attached to material possessions, as they can easily be taken away. Instead, our focus should be on the things of the Spirit and God's eternal kingdom. The sermon references the story of Moses and the Israelites in Egypt, where they faced oppression and hardship, but ultimately God delivered them.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that weak Christians often become overly concerned with the trivial and material aspects of life, indicating a lack of spiritual strength and grace. He argues that true richness in grace leads believers to prioritize their relationship with God over earthly possessions, as exemplified by Jacob's humble request for basic needs. Brooks illustrates that those who are spiritually mature find contentment in God's love and presence rather than in worldly treasures, viewing them with disdain. He warns against being distracted by the 'rattles and baubles' of this world, urging believers to seek heavenly riches instead.
