A few weeks ago we endured a boil water advisory as a precaution against a possible bacteria outbreak. We still had access to water but we had to be careful before using it. I cannot imagine all the water turning to blood. No water. Just blood. <br /><br />Frogs everywhere. Gnats everywhere. Flies everywhere. I have trouble wrapping my head around what that must have been like for the Egyptians. Did they know why? Did they wish for Pharaoh to let the Israelites go? Did it cause them to further mistreat them as retaliation? <br /><br />One thing is for sure: God got their attention. Does he need to work as hard to get my attention?Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-26371796293241091572015-02-19T12:32:13.078-06:002015-02-19T12:32:13.078-06:00Despite Moses' feeling of inadequacy that we r...Despite Moses' feeling of inadequacy that we read about yesterday, along with the help that God provided (his brother Aaron) they did just as the Lord commanded them. A great example for us!<br /><br />What I also found interesting is how God will harden a persons heart in order to bring glory to Him. I have often prayed for God to soften someone's heart, but never to harden it. God works in mysterious ways!Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378594821836169485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-55173889562038782692015-02-19T07:36:32.601-06:002015-02-19T07:36:32.601-06:00This can be a bit confusing, or hard to understand...This can be a bit confusing, or hard to understand, but the bottom line is that God is in control, and we as Christians can take comfort in that.
