In Exodus 9 the 7th plague takes it's toll on Pharaoh. He finally calls Moses to him and said "this time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right and I and my people are in the wrong." He goes on to tell Moses to ask God to stop the hail and he will let them go. When Moses gets out of town God stopped the hail and what followed convicted my heart today:
"But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned YET AGAIN and hardened his heart." vs 34
How often this is true of me and how this harsh reality brought me to repentance today. Specifically regarding our finances. When things get tough and it has taken it's toll on me I plead with God confessing sin and ask Him to protect and provide. And when the rain and hail and thunder ceases I sin YET AGAIN!!!
God please soften my hardened heart that I may be more sensitive to your Spirit and walk in obedience to you always!!!
