Did you consider that the plagues which the LORD God sent to Egypt were battles between Him and the gods of Egypt? Pharaoh was considered a “god” in Egypt. The LORD did not negotiate with Pharaoh. God never compromised His will or His purposes or His motive. (His motive: “that you may know that I […]
Have you ever lost or thrown away important information? You not only threw it away, you deleted it or shredded it. How frustrating is that?! Not only is that frustrating, it is frightening. Fear grips and panic may have the upper hand. What to do? What to do? For information you have lost, usually you […]
Please always read the quotes of God’s words in these devotionals, my words are not as important. May the LORD continue to give you His words to encourage you, to “grow” you in your faith and your confidence in Him. (NASB) John 8:31-32 “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If […]
The LORD God told Moses that He now hardened Pharaoh’s heart. When anyone is callous, hardened toward God time after time after time… there comes a moment when God hardens their heart. This happened to Pharaoh. Exodus 10:1 Pharaoh’s faith was in himself; after all he was a ‘god’ among the many which were in […]

How valid is your word? Are you a person others can depend on to tell the truth? God keeps His words, all of them. You can depend on Him to tell you the truth. God revealed Himself as God to Pharaoh in the days of Moses. “… I will send all My plagues on you […]
The LORD is at work in lives around the world, giving His warnings and His promises. Moses and Aaron were called by God to go to Pharaoh, repeatedly. Pharaoh hardened his heart, he did not listen. Even after disasters came on him and his people, he continued to harden his heart against the LORD. Do […]
Are you trusting your own thoughts, your own emotions? Please reconsider. Our thoughts can lead us away from God. Our emotions are untrustworthy. A roller-coaster ride has ups and downs, twists and curves, and moves fast. When the ride is over some people are physically ill, others are thrilled and want to experience that wild […]
(NASB) Ephesians 5:6 “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.” We are warned! Don’t be fooled by words that mean nothing to the speaker. The one doing the deceiving is doing it on purpose. They want something from you… […]
