Different

Exodus 11. The tenth and final plague is announced in chapter 11, though it is not recorded until chapter 12 (Exodus 12:26-39). This plague of death would not affect Israel. Isarel's firstborn would be covered and protected by the blood of the lamb. And against none of the children of Israel would a dog move its tongue (Exodus 11:7). In that day, dogs were not kept as pets, but were roaming nuisances. So their peculiar silence would be an unsettlling calm. Why? So they would know that the LORD does make a difference between Egyptians and Israel (Exodus 11:7).

Dear believer, do know that God makes a difference between you and the world (Egypt). There is a distinction. There is a difference. I have known people who claim to be Christians, but there was no difference in their lives. They still live like the world and have no time for Jesus. Dear friend, if you take Jesus as your Savior then there will be a difference in your life. Are you different? The Apostle Peter wrote that "we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people..." (KJV) of 1 Peter 2:9. We are different, and it is God who makes the difference!
