With my mantra
God is Love,
I just can’t grasp the last plague in particular to hit Pharaoh’s Egypt.
The bloodshed suggested to come from God is too much for me.
I ask my heart,
“Do I accept this as a historic event or myth?”
Actually, either way...it is too much for me.
It just doesn’t shout from the mountain tops, “God is Love.”
Let’s pick this apart.
I am only bringing God’s conversation with
Moses.
I am NOT bringing Moses’ conversation with
Pharaoh or Pharaoh’s servant.
This is important.
I hold Moses word choice
just may have been influenced
by his passion while desperately pleading his case.
Alirght. Alrightalright...
(The Israelites) shall take some of (the lamb’s) blood
and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house
in which they partake of the lamb.
Exodus 12: 7
Alright. Alrightalright...
Pray with me.
Sit back.
Take a deep breath.
Forget the rest of the story for a minute.
Forget everything you've heard about this story right now.
Be with God.
My prayer question here...
"Why did the Israelites have to mark their doors?"
What are you thinking?
How are you feeling right now?
Let's move forward another day, huh?
