Scripture:
Exodus 8:19 "Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, 'This is the finger of God'. But Pharaoh's hearts was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said".
Observation:
The first few plagues, the magicians of Egypt were able to imitate, but when it came to the gnats, they were not able to duplicate what they had seen. They were convinced that this was truly the finger of God. Pharaoh's chief advisers told him this was definitely a sign from God, but his heart was hardened.
Application:
Many times, when we think of people coming to Christ, we think that if only they would see a miracle, they would believe. We pray that they will see something miraculous and then they would know that God was real and then would give their hearts to Him. Some people, even when they see a miracle, will not be convinced that they need to give themselves to Christ. We need to pray that God would soften people's hearts so that they can receive the love of Christ.
Prayer:
Father, I pray that You would soften the hearts of those who don't believe. Help me to be a good witness to those who don't believe. Prepare the way before me and prepare the hearts of people to receive what You give me to say. Soften the hearts of those I have been praying for so that they will turn to You.
Your Son,
Jeff
