HEAR Journaling - Exodus 7
Highlight – Exodus 7:6-13 New Living Translation
6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they made their demands to Pharaoh. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “Pharaoh will demand, ‘Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.[a]’”
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent! 11 Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic. 12 They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.
Explain - Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 years old when they went to Pharoah to demand that he let God’s people go. They obeyed the Lord’s instruction with no apparent fear.
Apply - The Lord can use us despite our age or condition, He call the available and will supply whatever is required for the mission that He has called us to do. We need to follow His instruction with faith and obedience in all we think, say, and do.

Philippians 1:6 ESV And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Respond – Thank You Lord for calling me. I strive to focus on following You Lord and not on my situation or my apparent weaknesses but knowing that in You I can do all things that You would have me to do. I pray for anyone that does not have a living relationship with You, that they would find You in Jesus Name. Amen.
