Are you distinctly different? Exodus 9-12

God makes a distinction between the Egyptian and the Israelite. Although this distinction in our section today is by nationality and not actual faith, it does teach us that God makes a distinction between those who He considers "His" and those who are not.   God makes the distinction!!   God does send the rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45), however, He has made us His special people and expects us to have a distinction between us and the wicked.  The problem is that we blur those lines. Because of our life style we tend to look like the world and are not separate.  In our story today of the plagues any Israelite that had co-mingled with the Egyptians would have to suffer the plagues of the Egyptians. If you were an Israelite you would live in the land of Goshen and be safe. Today we so inter-mingle with the lost that we seldom are seen as different.  We want to look like the lost and possess stuff like the lost and fit in with the lost.  We have lost our peculiar life (1 Peter 2:9). By our life we ought to have a distinction in the way we live and the way God blesses us as compared to the unsaved world.
