Todays meditation: THE HAND OF THE LORD! What does the hand of the Lord look like in action? How do we recognize His hand and His works? These are good questions to ask. Have you seen the livestock and fish swimming in circles and walking in circles? Have you seen the livestock and fish just washed up on the shores or laying dead in a pasture? I wonder if this is what it looked like to the Egyptians when the Lord struck down the Nile with blood so all the fish died, and then when He struck down all of the livestock of the Egyptians. It was really scary and yet each time Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not believe. He didn’t believe this was the Lord. His magicians could do similar things up until the time that Moses made gnats appear out of the dust; from that point on Pharoah and his officials noted the hand of God. Yet they and he would not yield or bend to Gods request to let His people go. These plagues did not effect the Israelites or the land of Goshen, only the Egyptians. When the hand of God is at work, His enemies will tremble. Pick your sides well! Team Jesus is all about love and forgiveness; we let God deal with His enemies. For if God is for you; who can be against you? His hand is just. 🙏
