LET MY PEOPLE GO

Exodus 9: 13-23
The LORD God commanded his servant Moses, sending him say to Pharaoh, let my people go, so that he may serve me. This freeing order of people, Pharaoh refused to listen it. What was the cause?

1) Pharaoh was unfair
At that time, the fact that people of Israel was enslaved, suffered from forced labor, was unfair. Once when they came down to Canaan, they were a free people. What we need to think about is the fact that powerful nation exploits the weak nation, this is one of the greatest injustices in the world. There are almost 40 years, a servant said, even if for the moment, Americans, Russians, dividing a country such as Korea, Vietnam, may have some temporary gain, but will come a day where they must have to pay this injustice. (this is the wheel of history that we feel ourselves today).

2) Pharaoh was proud
The people of Egypt have been cleared by a nod of the head, but even so, God let these people survive. The people of Egypt, however, was always proud, disobeyed God and was always proud. In a word, Pharaoh was a man who lives by his feelings. When he wants to sin, he sins. Depending on the circumstances, sometimes called the name of Yahweh, if necessary even repents, but basically he was a man who does not live according to the truth but according to his feelings. This kind of person is most unjust, haughty and they are dangerous people.

Prayer: Lord, we recognize that the people of a power which sells low people are not very wise, help me to live not according to my feelings but in truth. Down the mighty of this world, and help me now, I really want to live according to your word.

One Word: Be not unfair and proud, but humble
