>Exodus 11:1 >Now the LORD had said to Moses, "I will bring one more >plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will >let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive >you out completely. >Let's look at this verse for a minute. The LORD told >Moses that HE was going to bring one more plague on >PHARAOH. That seems reasonable enough...Pharaoh is >being a hard head...he will not yield his will to GOD. > Notice what else the verse says...and on Egypt. You >see, Pharaoh's actions were going to have a profound >effect on the entire nation of Egypt. Pharaoh's >actions were going to cause pain throughout his whole >country. GOD was not just going to judge Pharaoh, HE >would judge them all. >I want you to imagine this scene with me. The >Israelites have been living in Egypt for a long time. >They served these Egyptian people. They saw their >children. The LORD told Moses I am going to strike >dead EVERY first born son in the land of Egypt. This >is what the Israelite people will leave during. Can >you imagine them looking back to the grieving Mothers >who are holding in their arms dead little boys. I >personally know quite a few people who have lost >children...this is a very hard thing. GOD has come >and has pronounced judgment on this entire nation...I >will kill all of your first born sons. Why did HE do >this? Why did HE allow HIS people to watch and then >have to walk away? I believe HE was making a point. >The principle here is clear... >YOUR SIN EFFECTS THOSE AROUND YOU! Your sin has an >effect on those that you touch every day, but your sin >also has far reaching consequences into the lives of >those you may never know, but you touch them because >you touch others who touch them. Pharaoh's hard heart >had far reaching effects on the lives of every parent >in his nation. Had GOD only taken the life of >Pharaoh's son that might have seemed "coincidental." >No, HE made a statement. >Does this seem harsh to you? Let me remind you that >YOUR GOD is actively pursuing you and HE is very >jealous for your life. In the last 5 chapters of this >book GOD has come to Moses and has called him to lead >the Israelite people out of Egypt, but Pharaoh would >not let them leave, so GOD passed judgment. Each >plague got a little worse until finally HE sent the >ultimate judgment. >GOD will do what is necessary to see to it that HIS >people are taken care of. >DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? Do you believe that HE acts on >your behalf? Do you believe that HE will do whatever >it takes in your life to get your attention? I >absolutely believe this with all of my heart. I >believe that HE will use our children, HE will use our >loved ones, our friends, WHATEVER IT TAKES, to get us >to see HIM as HE is. >HE IS SUPREME and HE HAS THE SUPREME AUTHORITY over >our lives. Pharaoh and the Egyptians learned this the >hard way. I wonder if you and I would be wise enough >to learn from the mistakes of others and follow GOD >with whole hearts so that judgment is not necessary in >our lives? > >Thank you FATHER, for your WORD that we can come to >and learn from. Thank you for making it so real and >so personal in our lives. May we learn to walk >closely with YOU and may we learn to yield our will to >YOU. FATHER, teach us what YOU have for us today. >May our hearts be open and receptive to YOUR HOLY >SPIRIT. Grow us as only YOU can. Thank you for >loving us. Thank you for giving YOUR SON. May we >never get over the fact that YOU GAVE us YOUR SON so >that we could know YOU. WOW! >In the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS...AMEN > >ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS- >Vicky
