God’s power vs. man’s heart!

I came across the plagues this morning in my chronological Bible reading plan. Wow! I have known about these plagues since I was a little kid, but each time I read them, it is as exciting to me as though I am a little kid- something amazing always stands out!

The Bible says that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. The human heart is one tough cookie! The plagues are certainly an amazing demonstration of God’s power. Yet, God’s power to affect the human heart is astounding! This verse in Proverbs is fascinating to me. “The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord; he guides it wherever he pleases.” (Proverbs 21:1, NLT) Another demonstration of this power is Ezra’s testimony. “Praise the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who made the king want to beautify the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem!” (Ezra 7:27, NLT)

Over the years, I have seen some hardened hearts. I have seen those hearts crumble under the power of the Gospel. The power of the Gospel is greater than the stubbornness of man’s heart! Let’s be encouraged! We can pray to our God, who has the power to change hearts!

Are you dealing with some tough hearts in your life? Are you frustrated with your heart’s hardness? Don’t give up! God is greater than the hardness. Don’t be discouraged; ask God to change those hearts. He can!
