Day 28 January 28

Exodus 5:22-7:25
Moses goes back to the Lord and complains how ruthless the Pharaoh has been since Moses told him to let his people go. God tells Moses to wait and see what he will do to the Pharaoh. Moses also passes along the things the Lord promises to his people and they ignore them because of how bas they are being treated. The Lord talks to Moses again and tells him he needs to talk to the Pharaoh, Moses again complains that he is not a good speaker and the Lord tells him what he is going to do. He also says that the Pharaoh won't listen and this is by God's will. He wants this to show more miraculous events to both the Egyptians and the Israelites. Two of these were turning his staff into a snake a trick the magicians try to match but the Lord's snake eats the others. The next was that he turned the Nile into blood killing all the fish in it.
Matthew 18:21-19:12
How many times are we to forgive someone who sins against you, Jesus tells him to forgive 70 X 7 times. Jesus explains the story of the king who forgave the guy and then that guy didn't pass on his forgiveness. You must forgive from your heart, this is important. When Jesus goes to Judea he is confrontef by the pharisees regarding his laws and the laws of the old testament, it seems they are allways trying to get Jesus to show contradictions between himself and the old testament.
Proverbs 5:22-23
This is me again, I have been held captive by my own sins.
