Do people like you enough to give you a present on your birthday? Some do it out of reciprocity, and others do it because you invited them to your birthday party. For the people of Egypt they gave gifts to the people of Israel without waiting for an occasion.
Exodus 11:3, And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
The people had favor with the Egyptians. When they asked for articles of silver and gold they received it. With the demonstration of God's power through Moses, the Egyptians recognized the standing and might of these people of the field and laborers. However, in spite of Moses announcing that the firstborn will be killed as the next and final plague, Pharaoh did not move. It was very different with the people of Egypt.
Father, you are ready to exalt your people for your glory. Help them to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
