I have made him and his officials stubborn10:1 Hebrew have made his heart and his officials’ hearts heavy. so I can display my miraculous signs among them. 2I’ve also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and about the signs I displayed among them—and so you will know that I am the Lord.”

Moses and Aaron performed these miracles in Pharaoh’s presence, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let the Israelites leave the country.

The Lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for.

Lord God my Father,

I have been stubborn for my way since the beginning, I beg you to soften my heart to be obedient to your will. Help me to release your Glory to those around me and soften the hearts of your people.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
