Tricky Headspace (Ex 10/ 60)

It's getting tricky now.
I haven't blogged while away, but I continued my readings.
So now I'm reading and then re-reading to post.
No big deal.
I've done that since I started.
Except now I've kept reading per my schedule.
Not another totally different section.
Head space is not coping.

Ago.
Oh well just read it again and hope what I got out the first time is the same. Or not too different or if it is then I hope I remember the better bits and that's what comes out on the screen.
It seemed such a good idea at the time.
Some method I hoped.

Wonder what's on TV tonight.
No I don't.
I can't believe I just admitted to a miniscule cranial containment capacity in my scone. But I did.
Not that it wasn't obvious anyway.
If you've been reading you would have realised 50 odd posts ago.


Exodus 10
It's at this point I start to feel a little sorry for Pharaoh.
His mental well-being seems to be failing.
He seems desperate to make the plagues end.
Yet God is hardening his heart for His purpose.
He can't let the Israelites go.
So that the generations that come will know of God's power.
That's fine.
But what about the Egyptians.
Even Pharaoh's servants have had enough.
He makes a concession that only the men may leave.
Locusts.
Darkness.
How dark?
So dark you can feel it!!!
Wow. That's dark.
But the Israelites could see.
What does that look like?
I'm guessing it was so dark the Egyptians couldn't even see the light over where the Israelites lived.
So to them it was just black. They just stayed in bed.
It may have looked odd to the Israelites. Maybe a black wall surrounding where they lived.
Or was it like an optical thing.
It says God caused pitch darkness across the land.
Hmmm. I was thinking He may have affected the eyesight of the Egyptians.
But it doesn't read that way.
I'm not trying to discredit anything, just thinking how it may have looked.
A bit hard.
Head hurting now.
Pharaoh makes another concession, the animals must stay.
He'd be just dreading Moses coming to see him.
Just when it couldn't get worse than last time, it does.

Moses is firm throughout.
No compromise.
Don't accept second best to make things easier.
It must have been almost as trying to him.
He didn't know when God would finish this.
I think he could sense it building.
Yet he holds on for a total release from Pharaoh.
He may not know when, but he does know it will happen completely and totally without exception.
Every adult, every child, every goat or sheep will leave.
