Exodus 11
Devotional:
Tell all the Israelite men and women to ask their Egyptian neighbors for articles of silver and gold.” (Now the Lord had caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people of Israel. (Exodus 11:2-3a).
While the final plague is predicted here, notice God’s provision for His people. God could have said that financially He would take care of everything, but He doesn’t. The Egyptians give gold and silver jewelry to the Israelites. What a great reminder that God’s ways are not our ways and that He is our provision, even if it is from an unexpected source.
What are ways God has provided for you? Has any provision come from an “unexpected” source? Give God thanks for all of His provisions.

Pray it:
Father, thank you for providing for me in ways that are at times unexpected or unnoticed. Let me remember that you are the God who provides for my needs – but not my wants – and to be intentional both in giving thanks for your provision and also noticing your provision when I may be tempted to ignore it. Amen.
