Exodus 9:8-12

Exodus 9:8-12

Plague of the Boils on both the Egyptians and animals-Yet Pharaoh's heart is hardened? Pharaoh does not seem to care about all the destruction he is causing. He does not care who it affects-even his magicians who stood by him and went against the Lord God almighty. Pride, Arrogance, Stubboness-sins that keep you from receiving the grace, mercy and forgiveness of our Lord and Savior. Why would anyone continue to follow such a leader? Where is the wisdom in remaining loyal to someone who resist God? The kind of loyalty or love that does not confront sin that supports you in sin is not true loyalty, love,kindness nor compassion toward you. It is certainly not wisdom that keeps you attached to sin. The scripture does not say that the magicians were coerced, forced, theatened nor abused in order to support Pharaoh. It appears that they did so for their own motives and reasonings. To freely support an evil leader in their evil doings is not wise. Resist evil with the Word of God. Jesus when tempted said to the devil..it is written...if Jesus relied upon the word of God to resist temptation then so should we.

A Photo

Playing with my camera today and took a picture of my cat Jireh. Jireh has been with me since 1994. When I went to the shelter to find a cat...Jireh was at the front desk and the lady that was taking care of her saw me and said this is the cat for you. I said that I would take a look around and then decide. Well every cat that I saw that day was hissing at me and everyone who dared to glance their way. So I quickly returned to the front desk and said to the lady, you're right this is my cat. At the time I took Jireh home I was suffering from a wounded and broken heart, beginning not just a new job but a new career and just moved into a new apartment. That year I also learned how to love gardening. It was a time of new beginnings. Each day was filled with heartache and joy. It was also a year that we had a big earthquake in Calif. and parts of Sherman Oaks looked like a war zone. Jireh was a most interesting companion. The man who broke my heart was still my best friend. We continued to communicate over the phone and mail. I sent him letters of Jireh's adventures and included photos. We then began to see one another as friends. Eighteen months later the man who broke my heart and I were married. Jireh is still with us making each day a new adventure.
