part of this life no matter who we are. Losses can affect us, whether

big or small. And many of them are just part of living in this fallen

world. But sometimes, God chooses to take something precious away from

us because we’re on the wrong track. He works to get our attention

before it is too late by removing something important from our lives.

We may feel like God is being unkind…. but He is truly being good. God

brings tremendous loss to Egypt so that Pharaoh will respond to God’s

command. In the end, Pharaoh loses even the audience with God’s

prophet, Moses. When a big loss isn’t enough to turn us from wrong, our

Lord will find a way to use loss yet again to show us what we’re

hurtling towards. Let our prayer be that we will hear God in the small

losses instead of needing the big ones to get our attention.
