Am I hardening my heart?
Exodus 8:11
But when Pharaoh saw there was relief, his heart was hardened; and he did not heed them, as the Lord said.
Personal Challenge...
How often do we call out to God when we are in the midst of our trials and tribulations, just to turn our backs on Him when He delivers us? It is often said that times of prosperity are the times when people walk farthest away from God. We begin to look upon ourselves as being in charge of our lives and everything in them and then by our own free will decide that we don't need God's help anymore. Are we any different than Pharaoh was? Is it no wonder that through history the church has grown the most in times of oppression? Why not, however, stay close to God in the good times as well as the bad? It is a choice that we can make, that we must make, every morning that we get up and every moment throughout the day. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
