8 “Then all these servants of yours will go to their knees, begging me to leave, ‘Leave! You and all the people who follow you!’ And I will most certainly leave.”
Moses, seething with anger, left Pharaoh.
I just took note of Moses anger today. With this last plague where people were dying (some he grew up with), he must have been frustrated and heartbroken to the point of seething at the Pharaoh for his ignorance and the pain it was causing.
No particular learning. I think sometimes when I read the bible I drive right past the raw emotions exposed in the words. today I felt a small piece of the pain and frustration Moses must have experienced.

9 The Lord had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you—so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.”
ReplyDeleteMy take on this one is that I keep wondering why God keep making Pharaoh hardened. Why not just end it. But here's the answer that I already knew. If God didn't harden his heart, and have him refuse to let them go....we probably wouldn't be so familiar with the story today. It was all part of God's plan to glorify himself and leave an everlasting impression on the people.
