Wasted

God often declares the end from the start
When He spoke of Israel plundering Egypt
He mentioned the purpose of the wealth
It was to be for them and their children
 
After many years slaving for nothing
A big pay day comes…
I believe they looked forward to this time…
And as promised; wealth was transferred
 
But like many who abuse opportunities
The moment Moses was away seeking God
The newly rescued people craved for toys
Anything to replace the Sovereign deliverer
 
So they demanded of Aaron, make them a god
For this he will need their gold
Foolishly they dumped their wealth into fire
And from there emerged an ugly calf
 
The party spirit had been rekindled
Soon they were merry and relishing
They had been denied this much fun
Moses was all about prayer and commandments
 
They only asked and Egyptians released wealth
Perhaps because it was gotten almost without stress
They didn’t understand or valued what they got
Keep God's will in view; or you forget
 
Everywoman is to ask her neighbor for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters Ex 3:22   …tejuwrite…
