Inside Out Living

Exodus 10:1-2 really sums up the whole theme for this week’s devotionals. The hardness of Pharaoh’s heart allowed God to demonstrate His power through miracles among the Egyptians.

However during this time I would imagine that Moses and Aaron experienced some frustration as Pharaoh would repeatedly change his mind about letting them go. Moses and Aaron had to hold to the bigger perspective that God had given them. Could you imagine the history of Israel without the plagues of Egypt and God’s great deliverance? Time and time again God would remind His people of the great signs and wonders He did in Egypt. If Pharaoh had been a push-over, then God’s people would have no concept of His power and ability to deliver. There was indeed a bigger perspective in place.

Could it be that the times when it seems God is delaying an answer to prayer or is not delivering you from a situation that He is working with a bigger perspective?
