Bible Question:
I would like to hear what other people think about exodus 4'21. Many versus say Pharoh hardedned his own heart and verse 21 says God did it. Thanks for your input. Teresa |
Bible Answer: Hi Teresa, This is one of those tough to accept topics. When we really sit down and know what God does, it seems almost unfair. However, we need to understand that God is God and can do what He wills. I'm not saying that you don't have that opinion. But many people try to question what God does. 1 Corin 2:16. "But who hath known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" Romans 9 talks about how God deals with people as He wishes. Pharoh is specifically mentioned in verses 17 and 18. So my view according to what is written here is that God hardened Pharos heart so God could glorify Himself. It's a really scary thought when you think about it. God could have made me to be Pharoh, but He chose me to serve Him. I am truly blessed because of that! Sal |
