[Discoveries] 04-27-07 Back pay

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... so they plundered the Egyptians. -- Exodus 12:36*/

God did not want the Israelites to leave Egypt empty-handed. So He 
arranged for the Egyptians to become "favorably disposed" toward His 
people and wealth was transferred from the people of Egypt to the people 
of Israel.

You can't call it theft. The Egyptians gave it to them voluntarily.

You can't really call it a gift. The Egyptians had enslaved the people 
of Israel for four hundred years. They owed them.

I prefer to call it back pay.

Trading people like cattle, making one man the property of another is 
dehumanizing to put it mildly. But nothing escapes the attention of God. 
And God sees the unfairness that you have had to endure.

I don't know how long your trials will endure. But I do know this. God 
has already worked out the details. Back pay is coming.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
