Exodus 7:3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Good Morning Saints,
Today we will meditate upon the hearts which are not receptive to correct advice. Sometimes people just don't listen to right counseling and fall in trouble.
Here we find that Pharaoh was repeatedly told that he and his countrymen will be destroyed if they don't listen to right advice; still Pharaoh doesn't listen to advice from Moses and goes on to stop the Israelites from going out of Egypt.
Due to this action from the Pharaoh we can observe few things about failures people face in their lives.
1. People don't listen to good counsel due to egoistic mindset.
2. People don't listen to good counsel due to judgement from the Lord. As it is written
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
3. People don't listen as Lord wants to prove that he is still in control.
4. People don't listen as Lord wants to favour his people and bring them out of trouble.
5. People don't listen as they become greedy and has no time for Lord.
Saints, today when you hear the word don't harden your hearts and do things which are not according to Lord's counsel.
Remember Lord is the creator of Heaven and Earth and he is still in control of the whole universe.
Today, pray that Lord should guide you in right counsel and deliver you from all temptation.
Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
God bless
