Prayer: Father, why do we even try to lie to You? You know our hearts and You hate lying lips. Why do we lie to ourselves? Help me to be honest with You, myself, and others. Amen.
Reading: Exodus 9 key: vs. 27-28
27 So Pharaoh sent, called for Moses and Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Adonai is righteous, while I and my people are wicked. 28 Pray to Adonai—there has been enough of God’s thunders and hail! I will let you go. You don’t have to stay any longer.”
Attention: Adam and Eve tried to hide after their sin. Jonah tried to run. Both responses to sin are common and not new. God has seen it before. So why do we do the same?
We have now observed Pharaoh’s response to seven plagues and each time he has relented, only to change his mind once Adonai shuts each plague down. Pharaoh is consistently predictable.
How many times have you confessed your sin to Adonai and then walked out of the church and Monday morning, there is no change. Absolute repentance results in intentional turn around, going in a new direction. Absolute repentance does not return to the former ways. It is a whole-hearted turn towards God and an intentional redirect away from the former sinful lifestyle and a deliberate redirect towards the future.
Pharoah had the right words, but his heart got in the way. With out a redeemed heart, his heart returned him back to his former hardness and rebellion.
Are you caught in the same cycle of deception and deceit? God will only suffer so long with someone like Pharaoh. Even God had a limit with Pharoah. If you are being deceptive with God, I encourage you today to make it right. Don’t push God to the limit and risk eternity. Cry out to Adonai today and never turn back. Get into the Word of God with the Choose Life journal plan and establish a new lifestyle with Him. You will never regret it!
Action: I repent of my past sins (name them), and I choose today to walk the rest of my life with Adonai. Help me to establish a daily Berean lifestyle in the Word of God.
Yield: I give my life to Adonai, today!
Engage: I am engaged with the Holy Spirit when I daily feed on His Word.
Relationship: I choose to walk with Adonai, every day in the Choose Life Journal plan.
Prayer: Father, I started this daily walk with you in 2005 and I love Your Word! Your Word has transformed my life, refreshed my life, restored my life with you and my family. Thank you for the privilege of living life for You and with You today! Amen.
Memory Verse: Acts 2:38-39
38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua for the removal of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 39 For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far away—as many as Adonai our God calls to Himself.”
