Wonder #4

Today, we saw God intensify his wonders in Egypt by sending swarms of flies into Egypt. How is that intensifying it? In vs. 25 it says that the land was "ruined" by the flies. They are no longer an inconvenience.

Pharaoh began bargaining with Moses. He said, "Ok, you can worship your God, you just have to do it in Egypt." So he's giving in, just not completely. Obviously, this falls short of what God has said - Let my people go!

I said in the sermon that trying to make deals or compromises with God are wicked attempts at maintaining ownership of our own lives. Do you agree with that? Why or why not?

Also, what ways have you tried to make deals with God to give him less than he demands?
