No Compromise (Ex. 7-10)


Today's scripture is extremely convicting for me. Today we see Moses and Aaron stand strong against Pharaoh. Moses makes it very clear what the Lord is asking of Pharaoh.


 25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land.”
 26 But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, as he commands us.” 

What I have found to be convicting in today's scripture is the fact that we are all quick to compromise the will of God. Moses made it very clear to Pharaoh what God had asked of him and would except nothing less. We regularly sell the Lord short with little or no expectancy of what great things He wants to do and can do. I urge you to consider what it is in your life you are compromising on. Do you expect the best from the Lord or are you compromising? Better yet, are you compromising in your walk with God? Meaning, are you giving God your best or are you sitting on the side lines not fully devoted?
