Exodus 7:14
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's
heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go."
Although he received many warnings, Pharaoh refused to obey God. Before the ten plagues began, Moses and Aaron announced what God would do if Pharaoh didn’t let the people go. But Pharaoh refused to listen and hardened his heart. Through the first six plagues, Pharaoh dug in a little more each time. Pharaoh wouldn’t change, so God confirmed Pharaoh’s arrogant decision, hardening his heart permanently (Ex. 11:10) and setting the painful consequences of his actions in motion. This brought suffering upon Pharaoh and on his entire country. Unfortunately for Pharaoh, he doesn’t get the point until it costs him his son. Stubbornness can be fatal!
God gave Pharaoh every opportunity to change his mind; it was Pharaoh’s stubbornness that prevented it from changing. Stubbornness against God leads to disobedience. When you stop stubbornly insisting on your own way and begin submitting to God, you may be surprised by the work he will do in your life. Let us all listen and follow God in all our decisions for ourselves, our family, friends, Church, and God.
Amen!!
