Exodus 11

I agree with Jordan! I don't understand God's reasoning for hardening Pharoah's heart. Did Moses and Israel have to go through all of the signs so that the people truly believed that it was God's will? The people certainly were fickle and soon forgot all about what God had done once they were in the wilderness. Moses did not however although I believe he did have some doubts even after all these plagues were brough upon Egypt.

I guess you can say that it really is not for us to understand. God is mysterious and requires our complete and total trust and faith in him. He knows what is good for us and what his plan is for us. We just don't follow! In a world where we bring our kids up to be curious and searching for answers this is one area where we all have to realize that we cannot understand God's plans. We just have to trust and believe!

Easier written than done!

  1. Jordan has seen Everything is Spiritual. Mark has it now. You should watch it next. God is creative and ends up putting a lot of this in our hands. Pharaoh simply could not give up power and control and God was proving to his people and the nations that he was more powerful. There is nothing more powerful than love and forgiveness. Let's flex our muscles in that regard.
