Exodus 9-10 Psalm 144 Acts 3
As I continued to read about the
plagues in Exodus 9 and 10 I note that god hardened Pharaoh’s heart but it was
usually the people that suffered. Sometimes God has to show that the cost of disobedience
increases and that some effect everyone and some just the disobedient and their
people. Each step Pharaoh continues to try to make a deal giving up as little
as possible and maintaining control The warning come and then ignored.
Psalm 144 reminds us that God should
be praised as all times and that there is nothing about us that is worthy of
his notice and yet he blesses us daily.
In Acts 3 Peter and John bring
healing from Jesus to a man born unable to walk. He begins to leap and praise
God. Peter is quick to point that they are just a conduit and that the healing
comes from God. They also point out that suffering comes from disobedience to
God and that the call for repentance and new life is what God always has called
for and still does. The unrepentant will suffer and the repentant will cause
others to turn from their sin.
