Ex 9:16
And in
very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power;
and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
The Lord
Wants to Show His Power
The Lord was
speaking through Moses to Pharaoh in this verse. The Lord is telling Pharaoh that he has been
put in authority to show the Lord’s power and that the Lord’s name will be
declared throughout all the earth.
Pharaoh exalted himself and would not let God’s people go. The Lord knew Pharaoh would do this. This gave the Lord the wonderful opportunity
to display the fact that He is King of kings.
The Lord’s Word is greater than any other word, no matter what powerful
place speaks them. When we are faced
with authority resisting God’s ways in our lives, we must not be frustrated or
angry. We must realize that those
situations are great showcases for the power and authority of God. If you have authority over you that seems to
really be not cooperating with the Lord’s plans, be strong in faith, giving
glory to God. God may, in fact, have
allowed that person to make those unreasonable decisions to display His power
and authority in your life!
