NEVER SAW IT BEFORE

Today's reading: Exodus 9-11

"The court officials now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him, How long will you let these disasters go on? Please let the Israelites go to serve the Lord their God! Don't you realize that Egypt lies in ruins?" Exodus 10:7 NLT

This is my 21st year of reading through the entire Bible.

That's not said in a bragging sort of way, please know that--it's said to let you know that even after that many times, I'm still uncovering new and timely passages each and every time I open the pages of this Holy Book.

Like this morning.

I never noticed, or had revealed to me, that Pharaoh's own people urged him to 'bow' to God. That his nearest officials begged him to see that he was defeated. That those in his own personal counsel knew he couldn't win this battle against the God of the Israelites.

God works through anyone. And everyone.

That's exciting.

That's encouraging.

That's faith building.
