Mornings With My Father: Exodus 10-12

My thoughts on Exodus 10-12Our sin is so consuming just like each of those horrible plagues. How are we no better than Pharaoh in our yo-yo relationship? We say “sorry” for our sin just enough to make us feel better but do we actually stop,turn,and flee from it? Think about it. We often are more a kin to pharaoh than Moses. I believe God does and will harden our hearts in the area we choose to sin in if we keep playing the part of a yo-yo.

Let us stop,turn,and flee from what is trying to consume us in our daily walk. Perhaps it’s gossip,negative thoughts,worry,or discontentment. Or maybe it’s something we say is a “bigger problem” such as laziness,addiction,lying,stealing,or pride. They are all really the same. Sin is sin and with it in our life we have pushed a wedge between us and God.
Luckily just as with the pass over, there was provision made for us. The lamb was brought and then was slain. The blood is available as a covering from the destroyer that will come to take us away from the love and protection of our Father. Harden not our heart to the reality of sin. Let it not plague and consume our life. Freedom is available if we paint the door frame of our hearts in the blood of Christ and flee from our sin.
