Our God is the Lord of hosts – “The total number of the men of Israel
was 601,730” (Numbers 26:51). He is also the God of the individual –
“Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace'” (Luke
7:50). He is the God of kings – “By Me the kings reign” (Proverbs
8:16). He is also the God of all who love Him – “I love those who love
Me, and those who seek Me will find Me” (Proverbs 8:17).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
