TOPIC: UN-REPENTED HEART
Memory verse:-"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will
fall all over Egypt—on men and animals and on everything growing in the fields of
Egypt.” When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder
and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land
the fields—both men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and
stripped every tree. The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen
Israelites were.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. "This time I have sinned,” he said to
them. "The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong. Pray to the
Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t have
to stay any longer.” Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread
out my hands in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no
more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord’s. But I know that you and
your officials still do not fear the Lord God.” (The flax and barley were destroyed,
since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. The wheat and spelt, however,
were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the
Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again:
He and his officials hardened their hearts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would
not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.”
It was awesome that the Pharaoh admitted his sins but that was the end he never repented. The same situation happens to us, when we are in difficulty we admit that we are sinners and God is right. We behave as if we will never sin again but when the situation turn in our favor we go back to our negative lifestyle. We need a repented-heart every time of our lives. Yes! It is not by our strength that we can achieve it but we ought to avail ourselves for the Spirit of God to have His way in us.
