Writing Exodus 9
Afternoon…
“Then Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.”
exodus 9:27
“But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his heart, he and his servants.”
exodus 9:34
I see progress….. Pharaoh is getting closer to admitting who is in control of this earth…. But he just isn’t quite there yet and Moses knew it.
“Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s. But as for yo and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.”
exodus 9:29-30
Moses knew that Pharaoh wasn’t ready to give them up yet.
This makes me think of the things I hold on to in this world, that I know I should let go of. For instance, I was watching a tv show recently, and I was getting very interested in it. But then I noticed there were a few questionable things happening on the show. But I hung in there, after all, I wanted to see what happens. Well, those little questionable things turned into bigger story lines, and began to take over the show. These questionable things were sinful things, that I knew are not making me a better Christian. So do I continue to watch the show and try to ignore the sinful things, or do I stop watching it all together? Well, I decided to stop watching it. I will say that I still wish I knew the rest of the story, the temptation is still there. But I have to hang in there and not go back to the same behavior.
Poor Pharaoh, did learn his lesson time after time. He kept sinning after each plague was over. I hope I can be strong and overcome the things I am weak in. But I have one thing that Pharaoh didn’t have. I have God on my side.
Try to read a few verses today!!
I hope everyone has a great evening!!
