The Rise and Fall of Egypt

Exodus 11.  

As you look back on your life, you can probably remember times of considerable blessings, and possibly times of considerable misery, but God provides.  He gives faith by His Holy Spirit, and life and salvation through His Son.  

God can make abundance disappear, and bring abundance from nothing.  He makes it happen without our deserving, but gives His grace, love and mercy to those who believe in Him.  He also causes the rain to fall and the sun to shine on the just and unjust alike . . . .  God provides.  

The Israelites plundered Egypt on their way out, and just as easily as Egypt rose, it fell with the plague of the firstborn.
