Exodus 11 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Exodus 11.

Meditate on verses 6-7.

 

Moreover, there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt,

 such as there has not been before and such as shall never be again.

 But against any of the sons of Israel a dog will not even bark,

whether against man or beast, that you may understand

 how the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

 

The LORD makes distinctions.  The Hebrew word, palah, translated as “distinction” in Exodus 11:7 is used in Psalm 4:3:

 

But know that the LORD has set

apart the Godly man for Himself;

the LORD hears when I call to Him.

 

God sets apart and distinguishes those who belong to Him.  The distinction God made between Egypt and Israel was obvious by death for the Egyptians and life for the Israelites.  Tomorrow’s devotional will teach what the LORD required of the Israelites to be given that life distinction as children of God.

It is eternally important for you to be distinguished as belonging to the LORD.  Has the LORD set you apart for Himself?  Are you a person of distinction because you belong to Christ?

Pray Exodus 11:3 and 7 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, give _________ and me favor in Your sight

 and in the sight of others.

Let us be greatly esteemed where You put us.

Make a distinction between the world and us.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
