 Prepared….

As  I was reading about the wealth that the Israelites took from Egypt, you have wonder what  the people thought about that…what can you buy in the desert? Why are we carrying all this stuff? Will we use it in the new land God has planned?…hummm

But, God reveals his plan, a tabernacle…clothing for the priests..using the wealth of their oppressors to make something good serving God…He news supplying their needs before they knew…just like their food, their clothing, etc…he didn’t leave them bereft…

Then going to New Testament times, the wise men brought gifts to this little family, who soon had to flee to a new country to escape persecution and death…God supplied their needs as well…

Matthew 6 speaks of supply as well…not to be anxious about our needs…because He knows what we need…

Paul speaks about the giving of others to help those in need as well…in various churches…

There have been times, personally, when we have been in need and times of abundance…times when we wondered how we were going to pay our bills…and times when we could pay for others’ bills…God had a plan through it all…

Thank YOU…

The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked…. 

Exod.12.35-36a

The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me. And this is the contribution that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, goats' hair, tanned rams' skins, goatskins, acacia wood, oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.

Exod.25.1-7

 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Matt.2.11,Matt.2.13-15

 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matt.6.25,Matt.6.31-33
