Behold, the Hand of the Lord was even on the cattle. Exodus 9:3. And all the mean cattle of the Israelites lived, while the mean cattle of Egypt died. Providence cared. Pharaoh hardened his heart. And Providence hardened it furthermore. To live for this life only bows our heads to the temporal not the eternal. My kids are professional athletes. They will tell you—-you can't live your life every day for one gold medal. Live to give. My oldest son said: You can't always be first but you can live your best. God's Hand is over all we are. Will we submit not knowing the outcome.
Pharaoh didn't feel the plagues in his person. Now, he must feel them in his heart. Exo 9:15. All he can reply to so gracious a God is "tomorrow." I'll put this off so I'm not obligated to you today. But ...
This is the Finger of God.
Exodus 9:19
