Key Verse: 10:2
First, passing on the faith to the next generation (1-2). The purpose of the plagues was to teach God's people his power, so that future descendants might love, fear and obey the Lord. We have a responsibility to pass on the faith to our kids, grandkids and new believers. We can do it by living out the faith, teaching through formal means, celebrating the history of God's grace, and sharing our own personal testimonies.
Second, fully surrender with no conditions (3-20). God wants full surrender. Pharaoh only partially surrendered. Moses warned Pharaoh about the impending invasion of locusts, but Pharaoh calculated the material loss and refused. Pharaoh laid out many conditions. God wanted complete surrender with no conditions. And so the locusts brought vast destruction. God is looking for complete surrender like clay in the potter's hands.
Prayer: Lord, teach me what full surrender means. Teach me to repent without conditions. Help me to pass the faith to the next generation.
One Word: Lord, I surrender all
