Day 46- Exodus 7-8; Psalm 44

This chapter gives us a great example of bargaining with God and how it gets you nowhere.

The serpent which Aaron’s rod was turned into swallowed up the others, which was sufficient to have convinced Pharaoh on which side the right lay. Note, Great is the truth, and will prevail. The cause of God will undoubtedly triumph at last over all competition and contradiction, and will reign alone.

In Exodus 8, Henry points out,

Note, God does not punish men for sin unless they persist in it.

Here, we see this example of opportunity and missed opportunity. 

Really, this is more of the same as chapter 7.  But such a great strong point.  We should all be so humbled as to remember, that we cannot make a promise to God that we don't keep, because He knows and really, the deal is a lose, lose for us anyhow.
