GOD PROVIDES

EXODUS 12:34--; The baby nation-to-be was at the point of coming forth at the end of the
birth pangs. In haste, the children of Israel used their clothes as bags to
carry their unleavened dough and kneading troughs to leave Egypt. Just
as the LORD had instructed through Moses earlier (Exod 11:2-3), they
asked the Egyptians for jewels of silver and gold and clothing before
they left. And the Egyptians handed over these items as requested. The
Hebrew words “borrowed” and “lent” here are understood as “asked for”
and “granted on request” respectively. The LORD moved the Egyptians’
hearts to give. In fact, the giving was so great that the children of Israel
practically stripped them clean. This was truly a memorable night for
they finally left Egypt after 430 years. The mixed multitude also took
this opportunity to leave Egypt, but they had to be circumcised if they
wanted to participate in the Passover.
GOD can move our hearts to provide in ways we cannot even imagine.
