Exodus 9:20-21

“He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.” A simple principle of scripture says that one’s actions reveal one’s heart. If we believe God’s word and have regard for His commands, we take action in accordance with our belief. These people may have obeyed God partially because of the plagues they had endured. The truth Moses had spoken to Pharaoh was verified in blood, frogs, lice and flies, just as it is verified to us in fulfilled prophecy, answered prayer and changed lives. Pharaoh’s subjects could have ignored the evidence for God’s reliability, suffering even more heartache and pain. Lost men of today are not lacking proof for the claims of Christ. His resurrection is supported by many infallible proofs, details of His life and death were foretold hundreds of years before, and His word continues to endure, despite fierce scrutiny from the world. When men reject the gospel, they often do so being fully informed, as even the creation testifies of His eternal power and Godhead, so that men are without excuse. Praise the Lord for His mercy in the revelation of truth to men that generally overlook, sneer at and disdain it.
