Wow.. I have been pondering this word God gave me a week ago.. I was reading how God made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites.. He said "But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and ARTICLES OF GOLD, and clothing; and YOU WILL PUT THEM ON YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.".
God blessed them! He not only rescued them and delivered them, but sent them off better then they came in... But..
Mose's absent from them was too much for them to handle, Moses was
keeping them straight.. But we are just the same! When we don't "see"
God working, or "feel" God working in our life, we start to turn away..
We say, Where is this Jesus that is supposed to be saving me..We say
where is this God that delivered me supposedly? And then we create a new
god. An Idol.. We create an object of freedom or deliverance,and its
usually ourselves or someone else.. We say, we freed ourselves!
Then we take the very same blessing God gave us and we turn it into a curse..
"Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."Aaron said to them, "TEAR OFF THE GOLD RINGS WHICH ARE IN THE EARS OF YOUR WIVES, YOUR SONS, AND YOUR DAUGHTERS and bring them to me." Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron"..
Not only do we curse ourselves but we put that curse on the people that we want to bless.. The children of the Israelites never got to experience the next blessing, the Promise land! The children who came out of Egypt who's parents put the articles of gold on, who wondered the wilderness were far beyond the age of 20 after 40 years of traveling....
But God is still faithful! Even with our unfaithfulness. He still blesses us.. He still pours our His grace and favor! He still kept His promise of the Promise land.. The children of the cursed would now find blessing..
He blesses the cursed, even when we curse the blessing..
