Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 105:28-36
The plagues of Egypt struck directly into the heart of the Egyptian religious system. The gods of Egypt were being attacked, and the power of the one true God was being demonstrated in a spectacular way. When Israel went into Egypt and began to experience such terrible hardship and suffering, they had no idea at the time as to what God was going to do. Our lives and circumstances are often mysteries to us – we do not see the hand of the Lord in what is taking place. But “all things” are being worked after the “counsel of His will (Ephesians 1:11),” and “all things” come from Him, are being worked by Him, and have their ultimate goal in bringing glory to Him (Romans 11:36).
Verse for Meditation: Verse 36 – “He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.”
