Egypt Loved Moses

Read Exodus 11
 
Exodus 11:3 The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.
 
DID you know the Egyptians – even Pharaoh’s officials – highly regarded Moses? Would we not assume every Egyptian hated him? And could we think that many Hebrews were suspicious of him? After all, didn’t all the trouble begin when Moses came out of the desert? Who is this man?
    But Moses’ favorable status is another demonstration of God’s power over nature – even over human nature. For example, Moses spoke several excuses to reject God’s call (See Genesis 3). Still, the Lord transformed Moses into an obedient, humble ambassador for the holy God into pagan Egypt. God made Moses new, so he would administer God’s power to save his people from physical slavery. The chosen Deliverer would need popular support. So God turned human nature to Spirit-inspired favor toward the prophet.
    As a result, Moses had authority. The Egyptian people’s favor gave him leverage against Pharaoh. He also could lead his own people. God is preparing Israel’s hearts to say, “Yes!” when Moses says, “It is time to leave Egypt.”
    The Lord God does the same for you, doesn’t he? With the Holy Spirit’s anointing, God has made you new, so you will follow him from sin and into his goodness. As you are in Christ, he has changed your human nature to love the Lord God, so you will be Jesus’ disciple to lead others to him.
    Thank God he is favorably disposed toward you. Respond in kind to rejoice and show the Lord’s favor on others.
 
The Lord’s Favor is his blessing to lead you into a new life, so you will lead others to him.
