BUT GIVE ME A BLESSING

Today's reading: Exodus 9-12

"Pharoah sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. Leave us! he cried. Go away, all of you! Go and serve the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds and be gone. Go, but give me a blessing as you leave." Exodus 12:31-32 NLT

Pharoah reminds me remarkably of many of the unbelievers I meet.

They don't want any part of the God I'm offering them.

They don't want to hear about Him, at all.

They pass on the invitation to church.

They aren't at all interested in the new and exciting life He offers.

They don't want to hear how He has provided for me--again.

They have no desire to know how my life has been changed, transformed and renewed by His being invited in to it.

BUT...

They want the perks that might come from rubbing up against 'Jesus folk'.

Like the 'in' when it comes to needing prayers answered.

Or the 'direct line to the Big Guy' when they want a favor.

It's our opportunity to show them it is so, so much more!
