We have been continuing with our spiritual training out of the Book of Exodus and what a training it has been. I, myself, have learned so much. We are now going through Chapters 9 & 10. Did you know that when we go through something, it is for preparation? In Chapter 9 of the Book of Exodus, God was not judging a nation, He was preparing a nation. God was preparing Israel to lead the land and have the courage to go out. We cannot be afraid to step into our future and we cannot be complacent with our present.
In Exodus 9:33-35, Pharaoh hardened his own heart. The heart reveals who you are. Pharaoh was an evil, selfish man and Pharaoh's evil heart did not allow him to do good. It was his own free will. Did God cause Pharaoh to sin? No. God never instills evil in a person's heart, that is our own decision. Our hearts get hardened when we do what we are not supposed to doing.
Some hearts are like clay, when the light hits it, it will harden. Others are like wax, when the sun hits it, it will melt. The substance that is in your heart is either hardening or melting away. When you have a hard heart you will come up with all kinds of excuses and sometimes you will start to believe them. 2 Corinthians 4:7 tells us, "We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God not from ourselves -
Don't delay your blessing by hardening your heart.
