Devotion – Exodus 7

S – But the magicians of Egypt did the same thing by their occult practices. So Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said. 23 Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and didn’t take even this to heart

Exodus 7:22–23 CSB

O – Commentary:

The Egyptian priests did not do anything as extensive as Moses and Aaron had done, but Pharaoh did not want to believe, so it took only the smallest thing to justify his unbelief.

A – It doesn’t take a lot for unbelief to set in.  No matter how big God does something, we can find the tiniest “exception” and say God isn’t perfect, loving or who He says He is.

R – Lord, help me to see you in truth and grace.  You and your ways are perfect.  My imperfections cannot stand next to you. Through your grace, you allow me to have a relationship with you.  You allow me to grow through my sin and gain more of you character each day.  Let me do that today!
