The Journey Begins

Again looking back about 3500 years, the children of Israel and the mixed multitude (yes, it was not just Hebrews that left Egypt) began their trek out of Egypt toward the promised land. There were about 600,000 men of the Hebrews, plus the women and children, and the mixed multitude.

Exodus 12:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

Our Father heard His people cry, and He delivered them. They were beginning a very different journey that would test their trust in Yahuah (Lord). He was delivering them from bondage, oppression and poverty into freedom and prosperity forever.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We praise and thank the name Yahuah (Lord). Send us now Your overwhelming provision. We need Your healing. Please forgive our sins. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You have provided. Deliver us today with a strong hand from the bondage and oppression of debt and poverty. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
