After losing my phone and not knowing what to do with myself, I remembered youversion thankfully syncs everything online, so at least I can continue my 90 day reading plan (small victories deserve to be celebrated too!). I am sadly one day behind, so I get to play catch up but it's not that bad, as I have already read this section.
I am reading Exodus 1-15 for today, and it really brings into question why the Lord did some of the things he did! He asks Moses to continuously pester the Pharaoh, all the while he is hardening Pharaohs heart. Moses, through the Lord, brings tragedy in various forms to the people. There are even times when Pharaoh asks Moses to pray for relief, which he does, but then the Lord once again hardens his heart. Why? Is it just a power show? Does God have an ego just like the rest of us? Or is there some other method? Maybe the purpose is for us to see what He is capable of so that we will fear him. His reasons aren't always easily understood, but I am certain there is a purpose for these horrible actions.
