Yet again, Moses and Aaron are instructed by God to go to Pharaoh even
though God told them that Pharaoh’s heart would be hardened. God knew that the
miracles performed by Aaron would not change this man’s heart.
It is so easy for us as humans to live with a hardened heart. I know. I
spent five years or so with a very hard heart toward a family member. I
remember praying faithfully that God would change this person as soon as
possible. Instead, God convicted me of my sin and taught me not to pray for
change in the other person, but a change in my own heart. I spent a few years
convicted and praying this prayer many times a day.
He answered me. This was not a miracle of Biblical proportions but a
Biblical lesson for me. Are you dealing with a hardened heart toward a
situation or another person? Ask God to reach deep within your hardened heart
and cleanse you and convict you of your hardened heart. Only then can your
heart be made right with God.
