Psalms 105:37 says, He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt wealthy and healthy. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we are brought out of the world of bondage to sin spiritually wealthy and healthy. Verse thirty-eight adds, Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. The people of Egypt not only let the people of Isreal go, but they were glad they left, because they feared God. The Pharoah might not have wanted them to leave, but the people did, because they were afraid. Verse thirty-nine states, He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. God didn't just get the people of Israel out of Egypt and the absndon them, but He proved guidance for them as well. Got not only delivers us from the power of sin, but He provides guidance for us each day. Verse forty adds, The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. God provided for the needs of the people of Isreal, had delivered them with riches out of Egypt, and still they complained. God has delivered us to the riches of everlasting life, yet we often complain. Verse forty-one continues, He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. God also provided them with plenty of water, and for Christians today, He provides us with the Bread of Life and the Living Water, Jesus Christ. Verse forty-two declares, For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. Just as God remembered His promises to Abraham then, He remembers His promises today. God never forgot His part of the covenant with Abraham, and He never will forget His covenant relationship with us if we are followers of Christ today. Verse forty-three adds, And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: We are a part of God's chosen people as Christians, and we should go forth with joy. Verse forty-four continues, And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; Even if God never gives us a land in this world, He has given us much greater, and that is a heavenly home. Verse forty five concludes, That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. God gave the people of Israel a land where His laws would be put first, and so He does with us today. Like them, we should give all our praise to God.
