Thoughts on Today's Verse...

These words of Moses to Pharaoh remind us that when Moses confronted Pharaoh and was met only by the hardness of Pharaoh's heart, God sent the plagues. Why? Because God wanted Pharaoh to know that Israel's God wasn't just another petty god of another nation, but that the Lord was the Only True and Living God. The nations, the seasons, and the earth are his. All people must come to revere his name and receive his grace or be lost forever.

My Prayer...

God of all the universe and Lord of more than all that we can imagine, experience, or see, we praise you and proclaim you to be God, the only true and living God, and the earth and its future are in your hands. Please use us, your people, to help more of earth's inhabitants "from every nation, tribe, people and language" (Revelation 7:9), acknowledge you as God indeed! In Jesus' name, we praise you and thank you for being Lord of our hearts, our world, and our future. Amen.
