Exodus 10:18 Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
Darkness–physical, spiritual, emotional–is so very hard for me, for many. Just the words “darkness that can be felt” make me shudder. I need light in my life. Like many, this time change, with darkness arriving earlier and earlier, is so hard on my psyche.
Exodus 10:19 And the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea. Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt.
And I am reminded how even a flicker of light in the darkness–a candle flame, a pinprick of starlight in the vast night sky–can disrupt the darkness, infusing the hopeless with hope. Again, for me, for many, this is so very crucial.
Exodus 10:20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Precious Savior, Thank You for being the Light in our darkness–always. Help us to seek You, to see You, to find hope in You, no matter how dark things appear. Help us, Jesus. Amen.
Exodus 10:21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”
Have a blessed day.
