God, Pharaoh and Moses

Are you familiar with the story of the Pharaoh of Egypt and God’s man Moses and his sidekick Aaron?

Particularly the hardening of Pharaoh heart. It’s a peculiar circumstance, don’t you think?

Is it unfair that God hardened Pharoah heart?
Do you think that God can’t use His omniscience to see where things are going?

It seems this true story gives us some insight on how God works and the dynamic mystery between His’s divine sovereignty and the free will God bestowed upon us humans.

For Scripture reports that Pharaoh himself hardened his own heart towards God no less than 4 times and God did so 5 times, I suppose this was to demonstrate God’s ultimate authority and Pharaoh’s lack of respect and humility.

What say you? What do you do?

I find it interesting how Lincoln wrestled with such matters:

Who defines you best?

God has given us the power of Choice yet He retains sovereignty over Circumstances and Consequences.

Ultimately, we have influence but He retains master control. We have micro-control as demonstrated with our designated Free-will.

Yet, God is in macro control, He is sovereign and answers to no one but yet He cares about the micro too.

Amazing! Amazing God!
