February 4th: Exodus 10, Psalm 64-65 and Romans 15-16

When it comes to this story in Exodus, in every chapter, I feel like I could say, "I never thought of that before."

Today, I'm amazed by the pattern that Pharaoh follows. Imagine, that you have a sin in your life that you repeat. Maybe, it's telling lies, murder,or not letting God's people leave your country... take a look at Pharaoh, nine times, he commits the same sin. He wars against God for like three chapters and yet he is spared over and over. Sure, there are consequences. But never, does he take the express elevator to Hades.

Something else I noticed in the beginning of chapter 10 of Exodus. There is a huge emphasis put on generations. What took place was to be enshrined in history. They were to tell the story of God's power with movies, wax museums and Bible themed t-shirts. Seriously though, this display was specifically designed to help the Jews while they were in the desert. Cool. Too bad they forgot.
