God Knows How to Protect His Own

Scripture:

Exodus 9:6 "So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died".

Observation:

All through the plagues of Egypt I see how God would send a plague on Egypt, but Israel, living right there among them, would not be affected. It is amazing to think that cattle all over the entire country were dying, but the cattle of the children of Israel were fine. God knows how to protect His own and even in the midst of His judgment.

Application:

We can rest assured that God know how to take care of what is His. He can cause terrible plagues to come on His enemies and you can live right next door and not be affected. We must trust the Lord and lean on Him for our protection. He WILL take care of those who belong to Him. What He did for the children of Israel, He will do for us. The world may be falling apart all around, but it does not have to affect the children of God. He can provide for you in famine and cause Ravens to bring you food if He needs to. We must simply trust Him.

Prayer:

Father, thank you for showing me how awesome You are at taking care of your people. You are amazing! Thank You for you Father's heart that takes care of and provides for His children. Thank you for teaching me to trust you more each day.

Sincerely,

Jeff
