Heavenly Father, help me to be a woman of my
word. Help me to not be used as a poor
example of a Christian. Help me to be
one that shows Your love by being honest and reliable. There is no one that comes even close to You
in this area, but I know although I can’t achieve perfection, I can strive for
it. Help me to see areas I need to grow
so that I’m never a stumbling block.
Help me be one like Moses, that is committed to follow You and obey You,
even if it takes many plagues and years in the wilderness to achieve the plan
You have for me. Help me be strong and
obedient through my wilderness. I know I
am not capable of being strong or obedient on my own, so help me keep my eyes
on You and listen to Your voice and follow Your steps as You lead me to the
promised land. Thank You for loving me
when I am so unlovable and using me when there is nothing good in me outside of
You.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
Here we go again.
Pharaoh makes a promise and does the exact opposite of what he swears he
will do.
Have you ever met someone who lies this easily?
Do you think Pharaoh intended to change his mind
each time he promised to let them go, or do you think he really meant what he
said and then changed his mind?
As a child we had someone in our life that my dad
said you could tell when they were lying because their mouth was moving.
How sad it was that this person lied so easily
that when they promised something you had absolutely no faith in them to follow
through. There are many people in the
world who are hypocrites. Even as
believers we sometimes struggle to act on our promises. How fortunate we are that we have a God that
is not only loving, but always keeps His word.
If God says it, You can be sure He will do it. That is the kind of legacy we should leave as
His children.
When you speak about Jesus and then are
unreliable, you are tainting the name of Jesus.
Commit to being a person of your word so that people can see the love of
Jesus come through you.
Exodus 9:27-35
27 Then
Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “This time I
have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and
I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Plead
with the Lord, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let
you go, and you shall stay no longer.” 29 Moses
said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out
my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and
there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is
the Lord's. 30 But as
for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God.” 31 (The
flax and the barley were struck down, for the barley was in the ear and the
flax was in bud. 32 But the
wheat and the emmer were
not struck down, for they are late in coming up.) 33 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh
and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the
thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the
hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his
heart, he and his servants. 35 So the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people of Israel go, just
as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
