Exodus chapters 8-10 is a continuation of God’s judgement against Pharaoh and Egypt for not letting the Israelites go. Like I said yesterday, you would think Pharaoh would get a clue! But no, his heart was hardened each time. This just goes to show how far gone Pharaoh really was not to be effected by these plagues! God was doing serious things to get his attention.
Is God doing crazy things in your life so you would get a clue? Are you getting it? Sometimes we need a wake-up call and sometimes its not pretty. Why don’t we all save ourselves the trouble and listen to God the first time!!
This is written in the book of Jeremiah. It is so much like the times we live in that its scary.
Jeremiah 7:23-24 (New International Version)
23 but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you. 24 But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
Oh let us not go backward, but forward towards our God and towards the abundant life we have when we love and obey Him!
