Psalm 105:24-38

Psalm 105:24-38
Common English Bible (CEB)

  There are a few lessons in the plagues of Egypt.
  First of all, God gave the people of Egypt 9 opportunities to recognize his power and authority before God sent the angel of death over the land.  God didn't have to give them any, but God was patient and demonstrated his power over and over until it was very clear exactly who was in charge.
  Secondly, God does some things that seem kind of strange.  Plagues of boils and gnats and frogs and darkness are bizarre, and even from within the faith, we don't always understand them.  But God has purpose, and God is slowly moving us toward redemption and deliverance.
  So be patient and trust in God's process.  He will neither leave you nor forsake you, and you are, slowly, surely, day by precious day, being moved toward redemption.

May we celebrate our God's power!
