Exodus 5:18
|
Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

Oh what a harder taskmaster the Pharaoh of sin is than Pharaoh himself!
Do we not search and seek for greater benefits from our sin, when our hearts are wedded to the sins?? My soul seeks to be delivered; sinner and saint alike seek deliverance from sin. As it were we say to ourselves, Let my soul go, that I may go and serve my King and Lord.
Either a hardening happens or it doesn’t. We are in the most dangerous situation who have heard and had our hearts exposed to the true and living Word of God. We close our eyes and go toward the darkness with abandon. God himself tries to stop us through His truth and we catapult headlong into our own demise.
How long will God deal with us? This question isn’t asked in this licensious era of the world. How long will God continue showing us the consequences of our sins as He did Egypt in Moses’ day? How long will we act like Pharaoh over our own souls and God not let us go unto our own way?
His mercy restrains us.
His goodness puts up with us and gives us plagues and problems to help us know our wrong.
His faithfulness allows us eyesight to see where repentance is
And yet we still seek the straw to make sin’s bricks..Help us see and be delivered Dear Lord!
Amen
