I so appreciate verse 7 especially after what Moses has already been through to this point. Now God is telling him to take the staff and cast it down before Pharaoh. I would be at this point thinking, really. I have put more burdens on my people...Pharaoh has a hard heart and you want me to THROW DOWN A STAFF! But Moses is different than me because he is obedient :). Through his obedience his faith is going to grow, reminding me that even when it doesn't make sense and yet I obey, then my faith will grow as well. Good lesson for me!
I am leaving town for a church plant conference. I will still be posting, but it will come at different hours each day, please be patient with me.

Chapter 7 spoke to me that God is speaking to all of us and we are too stubborn to listen. We don't hear Him because we are not being still. - Marsha
ReplyDeleteBefore she passed at age 91, my mother often lamented that she had no purpose on this earth. She could not figure out why God was keeping her here. Moses was 80 and Aaron 83 when they were called to a most monumental task. Love the way God uses us all (young and old, alike) to do His will on this earth! - Ann
Exodus 7:7 says Moses was 80 and Aaron was 83 when they spoke to Pharaoh. It reminds me of what Craig Groschel said at a Global Leadership Summit, "If you aren't dead, you aren't done!" We are never too old to be used by God! - Connie
Moses and Aaron did just as The Lord commanded them. Oh for us all to do just as The Lord commands us! - Linda
