I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri ​

Exodus 3:21 ESV “And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians and when you go you shall not go empty,”

What is a human being’s greatest fear?

Being empty!

Of food – hungry – so they eat more than necessary, hoard food, and create scarcity.

Of energy – tired – so they fill themselves with caffeine, energy drinks and energy supplements.

Of health – sick – so they go to doctors constantly and do everything the doctors say even though Jesus is the Great Physician and many doctors have very little training from Him and even fewer come to Him with their patients.

Of money – poor – so they strive, wok themselves to death (sometimes literally) hoard and pine for money all the time, thinking their bank account defines them or is where their help comes from.

Of life – death – so they avoid thoughts of dying and run away from the truth that everyone’s physical life comes to an end and aren’t prepared when it comes. They hold on to “life” physically as long as possible, on machines and extreme interventions to keep their bodies alive a little bit longer. But life, true life, has left and they are holding on to the very emptiness they wanted to avoid.

But look how generous I am. I give life (Genesis 2:22 & 1:7)

I promise great things (Exodus 3:17) and deliver it to those who trust in Me to fulfill My promises (Deuteronomy 11:31-32, Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Numbers 13:27-28).

I know that you feel the threat of emptiness at every turn and satan whispers it in your ears constantly. I know, deep inside, you know and remember you were formed from the dust and to dust you will return (Ecclesiastes 3:20) and I know you have a choice how to handle this. You can take control and fill yourself and your life with everything temporary (listed above) that doesn’t ever satisfy you or make you feel full or you can fill yourself with Me, eat and drink what I provide (Isaiah 55:1).

Ask Me for strength, trust Me to provide (Matthew 6:33) and most of all, be baptized in the baptism of water and of the Holy Spirit and be filled on a daily basis with the Holy Spirit, who is eternal and you will never be empty. See how I will provide. No one expected the Egyptians to give worldly goods to the slaves of Pharoah (the Israelites) but that is exactly what I caused to happen. What do you need to let go of that gives a sense of fullness but is really empty? Would you like to exchange it with Me for something better? Something eternally filling?

Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me all who are weary and I will give you…”
​
Prayer:
If your heart is stirred to let go of something but you know you can’t on your own – take a moment and ask Him to help or do it for you.
