Exodus 3:22 (NKJV) 22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
The sovereignty of God is something that each of us should find incredibly amazing.
It is, once we begin to comprehend it, something that repeatedly confounds the human mind.
In the example above, God had instructed Moses and Aaron to tell the Israelite women to ask their Egyptian neighbors for their articles of silver, gold, and clothing.
He did this intending to strip the Egyptians of their wealth by their own hands, having them give it willingly to the Israelites.
As God prepared His people to leave Egypt, He repeatedly caused things to transpire that, after a time, caused the Egyptians to beg them to leave.
And when they left, they took the wealth of the Egyptians with them.
Exodus 12:35-36 (NKJV) 35 Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. 36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.
God is still the same God today.
He will often do similar things even now, thousands of years later, for us; His children.
They may not be on the mass scale they were with Moses and the Israelites. And we may not easily recognize them if we are not paying close attention. But they do still happen, nonetheless.
If each of us were to look back on the various things that God has walked us through, it is likely that we could see glimpses of this in things past.
Times and seasons may change. Cultures may change. We may change.
But God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
