A Mighty Demonstration In this Old Testament example, God was telling Moses it would take a demonstration of His mighty hand to get Pharaoh to let His people go. As I was studying this, the Lord said to me, 'My people are letting their adversary get away with too much, and they’re not making him pay for what he’s put them through.' Isaiah 66:6 says, He is the Lord that “renders recompense” or pronounces a verdict on his enemies. In Exodus 3, the Lord said that once the demonstration of His stretched-out hand took place, Pharaoh would not only let them go, but Israel would go in overflow. The Lord said to me, 'Most people would have been happy with just leaving Egypt.' But that wasn’t God’s best. When you’ve been in bondage all your life, and someone says you can go, you might be satisfied with that. But that’s not God’s best. God’s best is recompense. God said not only would He deliver Israel from bondage, but He would make their adversary pay the wages due them. And not only that, but their adversary would pay them wages due them plus the wages due their ancestors for over 400 years. Now that’s what I call recompense! When the hand of God was on Pharaoh, it brought judgment. When His hand was on His people, it brought not just blessing, but overflow. Moses told the people in Exodus 13:3 to “remember this day in which you came out from Egypt.” "The Amplified Bible, Classic Edition" says they were to “earnestly remember…for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place.” God attributed Israel’s deliverance out of bondage to the hand of the Lord, and they were to remember that. Every time God mentions Israel’s deliverance, He reminds them it was the hand of the Lord that accomplished it. Why have we treated this so lightly when God told them to earnestly remember it? He even says in time to come, they were to tell their descendants how He brought them out of Egypt. It was important that their children and their children’s children knew it happened by the hand of the Lord. ****article continues on next page**** *****ADVERTISEMENT***** events | Free Admission Come and experience a timely word from the Lord.
