Exodus 9:26
βOnly in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.β
What does Exodus 9:26 mean?
During a devastating plague of hail that destroyed crops across Egypt, there was one place where the storm never fell: Goshen, where God's people were living. This wasn't coincidence or geography, but God's deliberate protection of the Israelites even while He was bringing judgment on Egypt and Pharaoh. It's a tender reminder that God sees His people in the midst of the suffering around them, and He can shield them from harm. If you're walking through difficult times while watching others struggle too, this verse whispers that God notices you and is capable of caring for you distinctly and personally.
