Devotion – Exodus 9

S – Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the Lord made their servants and livestock flee to shelters, 21 but those who didn’t take to heart the Lord’s word left their servants and livestock in the field. 

Exodus 9:20–21 CSB

O – The plagues were so obvious in God’s power and authority that even some of the officials believed Moses’s words before Pharoah did.  Pride is a big part of self-destruction.

A – When it is obvious to others in the room and you don’t see your own flaws – you are in trouble.  Humbling oneself is a great step. Or God will do it for you.

R – Lord, I know I can be stubborn and have blind spots.  Please continue to surround me with core people who love me enough to be honest and straight forward.  Give me the strength to hear their words and humble myself.  I desire to bring you the very best version of me today.
