Be Still: Daily Devotional

Today is June 25.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you.    
 
Take a moment and quiet yourself. Take a deep breath. Welcome God’s presence. And say, “Come Holy Spirit.”    
   
Today’s reading is from the book of Exodus, chapter 9.  
 
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said to them. “The LORD is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong. Pray to the LORD, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t have to stay any longer.”  
Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the LORD’s. But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the LORD God.”  
 
Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the LORD; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.  
  
"He sinned again”. What a confronting line. Pharoh had hardened his heart. He asked for a sign from God, got a sign from God, and then: ignored it. As we come to prayer today, invite the Lord to search you, and know your heart... to see if there is any hardened way inside of you. 
   
Does it feel difficult to admit that there might be a part of your heart that is hardened toward God? Does that make you defensive? Listen again to the passage and pay attention to what the Lord highlights for you.  
   
Hardened hearts are sometimes found under unforgiveness, an inability to admit fault, pride, ego, or perfectionism. As we end our time of prayer, ask God for the grace to examine your own heart, and invite Him to soften you by His spirit.
