How is everyone going? THE question hey.
Exodus could yet be another script for a way out there movie or mini series. River of blood, frog plagues, gnat plagues (WHAT........... are gnats by the way??!), staff turning into snakes.... oh, my goodness. I am so glad I am not an Egyptian of the time. Gosh, Pharaoh was stubborn. But, for some reason - God hardened his heart... I found that strange in my human frame of mind. I was thinking though, if Pharaoh caved in first plague and let the Israelites go -- then perhaps the people wouldn't have realised what a God, God actually is. All powerful, and loving. God may have hardened Pharaoh's heart, for the sake of more people coming to know him as Saviour. Hmmm...
Well, this wasn't going to be a long blog -- just a check and see how everyone is going kind of blog. I am still enjoying this. Yep, sometimes is hard to fit 4 chapters in a day - but the rewards are there. I'm learning so much more than what I ever thought - and I feel like I'm filling in the gaps of the Bible that I may have heard told before......pretty cool.
Hope everyone is well. I know everyone is busy..........assignments, work, househunting, driving too and from Emerald..... :) Everyone's doing great though -- keep it up!
Camp this weekend!! Awesome. Will see you's there all being well hey.

Hey bec.
ReplyDeleteThanks heaps for this post. You are a legend. I so agree with how insanely out there all those plagues were. Man, imagine the burnett river turning into blood. disgusting. I reckon around the banks you'd have stiff gluggly clumps of blood. Urghh. What's a nursing term. Solidification? And does blood start to smell foul after a while.
I also found it interesting how the Lord hardened Pharoah's heart. Like, did pharoah have a choice in his heart's feelings? I spose the Lord just knows the real heart of us. I will consider this further I hope.
Hmm, and camp was great wasn't it. I absolutely loved it. Real good to catch up wth everyone.
Cheerio. Kresto
