Everythings Coming Up Moses...

Day Ten: Exodus 6:1 - 12:51

I have learned over the past week how much my attitude has changed. I have such a positive outlook on life that it is almost impossible for something to go wrong. For example: Saturday night at Sonny's was very slow, it was not a good night for money. I however, probably made more money on Saturday night in a single shift than I ever have. I have no doubts what-so-ever that my attitude and new found relationship with God had everything to do with it.


So....Moses shows his Pharaoh his magic staff miracle (Just as God told them), and Pharaoh refuses to let Moses and Aaron leave (Just as God told them) with the Israelites (from now on I am going to refer to them as the I-ites. Much easier to write).

So...Moses and Aaron (Just as God told them) strike the water in the Nile river and turn it to blood, with this all of the water in Egypt becomes blood. Pharaoh does not let the I-ites leave (Just as God told them).

So...Moses and Aaron ( Just as God told them) bring a huge plague of frogs into Egypt. Frogs begin to multiply and appear from every direction....frogs, frogs, frogs everywhere!!! Pharaoh still would not let them leave (Just as God told them).

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of gnats to Egypt (Just as God told them), gnats to the left, gnats to the right. High gnats, low gnats. Gnats here, gnats there. Pharaoh still would not let the I-ites leave (Just as God told them).

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of flies into Egypt (Just as God told them). Flies everywhere! It was worse than a picnic in a trailer park! Pharaoh still would not let the I-ites leave! (Just as God told them)

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague on the livestock (Just as God told them). Only letting the livestock belonging to the I-ites live. Pharaoh still doesn't let the I-ites leave!!!

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of boils into Egypt (ok really enough is enough, I can handle frogs but boils really? Really, Pharaoh? gross) Boils covered all the men and animals of Egypt. Pharaoh still did not let them leave.

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of hail into Egypt (Just as God told them). The biggest hailstorm the world has ever seen. Worse than the movie Twister! Pharaoh still did not let them go. (Just as God told them)

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of locusts into Egypt(Just as God told them). Locusts take over! Locust-zilla! Locust Kong! Locust-donna! Pharaoh finally tells Moses he can take only the I-ite men (Just as God told then).

So...Moses and Aaron send a plague of darkness over Egypt (Just as God told them). Except for where the I-ites were. Nobody could see anything or go anywhere for three whole days. Pharaoh tells Moses that he can only take the men and women but cannot take any animals or livestock. When Moses refuses, Pharaoh tells him that if he comes to him again, he will die.

So...Moses and Aaron tell the people of Egypt that at midnight God will come into Egypt and kill the firstborn child of every household (Just as God told them). Except for the I-ites.

This is what we all now know as The Passover.

Finally! Moses is able to lead his people from Egypt!

It's interesting to me how long God let these plagues last. It shows us how far he will go. Not only to get a point across, but to save and help people. It shows that if God is determined for something to happen it will happen, and fighting it only causes chaos (boils-gross).

So Pharaoh finally lets the Israelites leave Egypt! It stinks that all of Egypt had to suffer due to Pharaohs earlier decisions (boils-nasty), but in the end it all worked out.

I think that is what many people need to focus on today. In the End it will All Work Out. I think that is the best outlook you can have :)

Boils-Why?
