Interesting in what Pharaoh does in verse 27 with his sin statement, but once the dust settles, he is his old self again. Boy, have I played this card too many times in life. When we embrace what Jesus really took on for us, it should cause us not to mess around with repentance and confession, may our hearts be pure with Him.
Sorry it was late but got some good thoughts as we prepare for Benton.
He and his officials hardened their hearts. It seems like up to this point it was Pharaoh's heart that kept hardening. Now the officials hearts are going the same way as their leader. We have to be careful who we follow and who we listen to because it has a direct influence on our hearts. - Blaine
ReplyDeleteWhen I read exodus 9 I am amazed at how stubborn, stupid, and hard hearted pharaoh is. How many times before he believes? His declaration in v. 27 is bogus! Then I think how many times does it take me to recognize God's work? If the bible we're full of obedient good people I don't think I would believe it. It is full of people like me so I can have hope and know that Godcan use me for His purpose. - claire
