There Is A Difference...

What is the benefit of walking with God? This questions becomes more punctuated when we’ve had a string of challenges hit us or we see someone who is a scheming liar being blessed out of their brain. These comparisons can drive us crazy if we look at them too much. Truth is, life has a random side to it. But another truth exists, there is favor on those who walk with God.
“The hail hit hard all over Egypt. Everything exposed out in the fields, people and animals and crops, was smashed. Even the trees in the fields were shattered. Except for Goshen where the Israelites lived, there was no hail in Goshen.” ~Ex. 9:25-26
Moses had now accurately called down five destructions on Egypt because they wouldn’t cease their cruel enslavement of Israel. On this day he forecasted the worst hail storm in Egypt’s history. Amazingly, some of Pharaoh’s officials still left their workers out in the field, even though they’d watched Moses’ previous miracles. And true to his word, a sky grew dark with foreboding clouds, and then horrific hail of epic proportions poured out of those clouds and literally pounded everything into the ground in all of Egypt. Even the trees split and broke to the ground. But, not a single hail stone fell in Goshen where Israel lived. They were surrounded on all sides by ravaging hail, but it didn’t touch them. They still had the challenges of enslavement, but no hail. There’s an important lesson here; We who follow Christ still have our challenges, but THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. ~verlon
