Hardened Hearts and God's Patience

Exodus chapters 7-8 takes us deep into the heart of what it means to know and obey God. As we witness the dramatic confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh, we're invited to consider a profound question: Who is the Lord that we should obey Him? The narrative of the plagues isn't just ancient history—it's a mirror reflecting our own hearts and choices. This passage challenges us to examine whether we're hardening our hearts toward God's purposes or yielding to His sovereignty, recognizing that every moment of resistance costs us, while every act of surrender brings life.
