The Finger of God
Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.—Exodus 11:10 (NIV)
Pharoah’s stubbornness and refusal to set the Israelites free led to God punishing him by sending ten plagues to Egypt. But perhaps the purpose behind the plagues was larger—that future generations could know God by the powerful and miraculous events that the children of Israel witnessed.
Lord, Ruler of the World, I recognize the incredible lengths you have gone to so that I can know and love You.
