Hardened Heart...

 Moses and Arron went to Pharaoh 7 times to get the people of Israel free and each time they did Pharaoh heart was hardened. 

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews says: “Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. Exodus 9:1 

 And Pharaoh sent men, and they learned that, behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. Exodus 9:7

You would think after reading this story which I not finished with but have heard before that Pharoah would let them go after the first sign of God. He did not it took 7 times for him to let him go. Pharaoh would say to Moses and Arron in essence stop the sign and will let the people of Israel go. But after each time Pharaoh would harden his heart.

What do you have hardened in your heart, That God has tried to fix? You say I will do it this or take care of that and you say that and then you harden your heart, and nothing happens. I have talked about once you give it up to God you have to let it go and know that God will take care of it. So, if God is trying to loosen your heart to take care of some things, he thinks you need to work on or get help with don't be like pharaoh and say it and harden your heart afterwards. it is freeing when you do this, and it takes practice just like anything else in your Christian walk.

So today as you go forth to church and your day give yourself a heart checkup and pray about it. No longer have a hardened heart.
