Bible Bites
Uncompromised
“Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.” (Exodus 8:25)
Over the course of the ten plagues of Egypt, Pharaoh bargained with Moses. Pharaoh offered for them to worship within the land. He also offered the compromise of letting the men go, but the women and children stay.
God unequivocally said, “Let my people go.”
Pharaoh offered compromises and bargaining.
And the moral of the story is that God’s commands aren’t for sale. His authority is not to be compromised by human desires. We must fully seek to follow God’s will, not partially adhere to what we find most convenient.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
