Key Verse: 7:17
First, the spiritual battle is tenacious, but God is victorious (14-19). Pharaoh's heart was hardened. Pharaoh's stubbornness reveals that Satan does not give in easily. Confronting him is going to be a spiritual battle. To win this battle, we need to remain in the Lord and obey his word. God will go on ahead of us so that many captives may be set free. Then the whole world will know that the "I Am" is the great God, mighty and awesome.
Second, humbly repent and let God's glory shine (20-25). God found the most meaningful and symbolic thing to bring judgment upon ancient Egypt...the Nile River. This 3,000 mile waterway was a river of life. It was worshipped. It provided water for drinking, farming, fishing and bathing. This miracle from God was truly a blow to the gods of Egypt. Despite of Pharaoh's resistance, God's glory and power were revealed. There is only one reasonable response...humble repentance.
Prayer: Lord, the spiritual battle is not easy. But I know that you are going on ahead. Help me to simply trust and obey you as you bring forth the victory.
One Word: Be humble and let God's glory shine
