Bible Reading: Exodus 11-12, Matthew 28:21-35
Memory verse: “And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: [36] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.” Exodus 12:35-36 (KJV)
The bible tells us that the ways of God are past finding out because no man can tell His mind. Isaiah 55:8-9( KJV) says, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” No man can know the mind of God except He reveals it, and also by observing and discerning His ways.
God wants to make us rich and prosperous in everything, especially our soul. His riches often times goes to His blessed people through favour. Blessings from God attracts favour. When favour of God is upon a man riches are inevitable. Abraham almost lost his wife to the king of Egypt but God stepped in, restrained the man after he had given Abraham so many cattles and male and female servants (Genesis 12).
The same favour was what God placed on His people on the eve of their departure from Egypt such that there was a transfer of wealth from Egypt to Israel in one night! God made every Israelites rich and wealthy in just one night of favour. “And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.” Exodus 12:36 (KJV)
Remember, the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow to it. Let’s learn the ways of God for in His ways lies His revealed mind.
