Daily Bible - 020504
Today's reading is found in Exodus 4:18 to Exodus 7:13.
Moses and Aaron convinced the Israelites easily enough that they were to be rescued, but Pharaoh refused to let them go. In fact, he made their labors more difficult. in fact, the Egyptians were unhappy with their Israelite guests. This fact will make sense when you realize that after 300 years, the Israelites had broken spirits and lacked the fortitude to leave on their own. If they weren't meant to be eventually forced out of Egypt, they may still be there today!
Did you catch that bit about Aaron's staff eating up the staffs of Egypt's wise men and magicians? Note the symbolism that God is greater than any magic found in the world. Does anybody want to put a hex on me? I dare you! ;-)
