01.23.2015 Old Testament: Exo 4.21–23

To read the Bible in a year, read Exodus 4–6 on January 23, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

Even as a hard heart in your body will ruin you, so a hardened spiritual heart will ruin you, as demonstrated by Pharaoh,

And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. Then you shall say to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn”’” (Exodus 4.21–23). 

If you do not know to what extent Pharaoh and the Egyptians suffered because of his hardened heart, keep reading and be amazed! Then open your heart to the Lord, keeping your heart soft and pliable that He may shape you into the image of Jesus Christ.
