What a back-pay these people received. Psalm
105 :3 7-41 tells us just how lavish their back pay was
"He brought them forth also with silver and
gold: and there was not one feeble person among
their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them
fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light
in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them
with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
they ran in the dry places like a river." Nobody can ~eat God being God!

Was it because they were so good? No ... it was because God is goodi
and His mercy endureth forever. We serve the same God who has
seen everything we have ever gone through; seen the tim~s we have!
been cheated out of what we should have had; used, misused andj:
abused; the times when we received less than what we were due; the
times others took what was rightfully ours. God's thoughts and plans
for us are still good to give us an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11). Hej
hasn't forgotten you. He hasn't forgotten the back pay due you. He-:
brews 6:10-12 (NKN) says, "For God is not unjust to forget your 1
1
work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in .
that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire 1
that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance ~
hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish but imitate those
who through faith and patience inherit the promises. ,,

You've got something coming. It's on the horizon if you don't give!
up. We've got good things coming, but we must be sure to give God;
the praise and not forget Who our SOURCE is. Deuteronomy 6: l 0-12,
says, "So it shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the:
land of which He swore lo your fathers, lo Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, :
to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses!
:/I of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which:
you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant-'
when you have eaten and are full- then beware, lest you forget
. the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house Oi
bondage."

Once you find the thief, He must restore to you sevenfold. Proverbs
6:31 says, "But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall
give all the substance of his house.,,
