Day 30 Reading: Exodus 10-11, Matthew 20, Psalm 25:1-15 and Proverb 6:6-11
The most powerful leader in Egypt, Pharoah, would not let the children of Israel go. He refused to listen to Moses, the humble leader of God’s chosen people. He refused to listen to his own servants for they recognized that Egypt “was ruined.” Moses and Aaron warned Pharoah of the pending doom to him and his people. After so many plagues, Pharoah started to realize that the time had come to do something but still wanted control over the situation. He had been warned; he saw the plagues; his servant’s advice was rejected. In all of this, God’s plan was going its course. Are we doing our part in God’s Kingdom? Let us not grow weary in obeying God’s will for our lives – God’s plan is far greater than our understanding.
"So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, 'Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, "How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me."'" – Exodus 10:3 (English Standard Version)
"You are Almighty, Lord Jehovah. Your ways are greater than I can even imagine, yet, I pray Your Will be done. Whatever is happening around me and whatever our ungodly leaders are doing, I pray that I be faithful to You. In Jesus' name, Amen."
