Exodus 9

In this passage more of the same happens. Freedom for the worship of God. The magicians are taking it hard for trying to stand against God. Pharaoh keeps hardening his heart after the beatings stop. Hardening of the heart is called sin. He even recognizes that he has sinned before God. He must have a real complex to keep going back to his hardened heart. Again, it seems crazy but in many ways I'm like him. God delivers me, but I still harden my own heart and continue in sin. To escape we must really turn toward God who is the only one who can change hearts.
