"But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was unwilling to let them go." Exodus 10:27
Moses and Pharaoh grew up in the same culture, they both had the same teaching. Why the dramatic difference between the two of them? Moses encountered God in the burning bush, He had seen the truth of God and received Him. Pharaoh sees the truth of Moses's God but can not accept Him. God placed a road block, why? "and that you may recount to your son and grandson how I made a fool of the Egyptians and what signs I did among them, so that you may know that I am the LORD." Exodus 10:2. We all face difficult people, Moses does not react to Pharaoh any other way than straight forward, he does what God asks. God works thru Moses and Pharaoh so that others may know that He is Lord. Even in difficult situations we are to share the love of Christ and not take it personally, Moses doesn't.
What is God saying to me: faith is a journey, recognize My voice.
Dear Father, help me to live simply this day, to not react to various situations but to live out Your will for my life. Guard my tongue so it does not create difficulties for us, may it speak only truth and only when necessary. Prayers for hardened hearts, may they see God working in their lives and receive Him as Moses did. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
