Nice reflection today, but I do have a question.

One point that seems to be easily overlooked by many readers is what is happening to the Pharaoh’s heart, and more importantly, who is causing it.

Has free will, one of the foundations of our faith, been taken from the Pharaoh by God?

Mark

Let our God be God. I am not in control but He hears my cry. God’s peace to everyone.

Thank you for that invitation.
Dear Judith, I too, struggle with understanding
God’s ways but as you also acknowledge: God is God and I am not!
My little mind is not able to fully understand God’s plan. But, I think, just as God had to harden the Pharaohs heart he had to harden the hearts of all those who were involved in having Jesus crucified. It is so hard for me to shout out ” Crucify Him,Crucify Him!” every year as we read the passion play on Good Friday! But now I know that God had to make all those peoples hearts hard in order that his son be crucified!

Thanks for today’s reflection. However, today’s first reading from Exodus confused me quite a bit. The opening verses of the reading state in part that “although Moses and Aaron performed various wonders in Pharaoh’s presence, the Lord made Pharaoh
obstinate”. And so i am thinking that it is actually the Lord who made Pharaoh obstinate! I wonder why! But again He is God.
