1. 神命人谦卑顺服（v3-6）
神要求法老谦卑自己，并警告法老，如果不悔改，蝗虫灾害将彻底吞噬埃及仅存的收成，使国家陷入更深的危机（v5-6）。但法老已经经历了之前 7 次的灾难，也经历了神的大能，他的心却还是刚硬而不肯降服。这正是许多人的写照——神一次次提醒，仍然不愿悔改。
2. 法老试图妥协神（v7-11）
法老的臣仆对他说：“埃及已经败坏了，你还不让以色列人去吗？”（v7）。这些人中有的已经开始「惧怕耶和华」的话。但我们发现法老假意让步，但仍试图掌控局面，他说：“你们可以去，但只准男人去！”（v10-11）。
法老想让以色列的下一代留在埃及，除了是要让他们成为人质，更是象征着魔鬼的诡计——让信仰无法传承，下一代仍属于世界。
3. 蝗虫吞噬全地物（v12-15）
神吩咐摩西伸杖，东风刮了一整天，把蝗虫带来（v13）。这些蝗虫吞噬了埃及地所有的庄稼，连树上的叶子都不剩（v15）。
蝗灾让法老知道拒绝神的人最终会被毁灭。不仅是埃及的农作物被吞噬，法老刚硬的心也让国家陷入灾难。
4. 法老假意求赦免（v16-20）
当蝗虫吞噬全地，法老终于承受不了，求摩西代祷。他虽看似悔改，但却只是在危机时向神求告，并没有真正的心意更新。
我们会发现，许多人在遇到困难时才呼求神，但一旦问题解决，就又回到过去的生活。然而，真正的悔改是心意更新，而不仅仅是危机时的呼喊。
1. 黑暗象征灵里迷失（v21-23）
圣经描述，这黑暗持续了三天，人们连彼此都看不见，也无法行动。一个没有光的世界，不只是行动受限，更让人陷入恐惧、混乱和绝望。
圣经中，黑暗常象征 罪恶、无知和与神隔绝（约8:12）。法老的悖逆使整个国家进入黑暗，这正是人若拒绝神，在属灵里会经历的景况。
2. 摩西坚持完全顺服（v24-26）
黑暗之灾后，法老再次妥协，让以色列人去，但要求他们 把牲畜留下（v24）。而摩西的回答十分坚定：“我们连一只蹄也不留下”（v26）。
摩西的回应带出了属灵的原则：敬拜神，必须完全顺服，而不是按人的喜好调整。
3. 法老仍刚硬拒绝神（v27-29）
尽管经历了九灾，法老仍然不愿真正悔改。法老一次次拒绝神，到了这个地步，他甚至恼羞成怒，威胁摩西。这导致接下来的第十灾（杀长子之灾），将会是埃及最严重的毁灭。因此，我们看见刚硬的心最终会带来毁灭。
小结：黑暗与光明的选择在我们手中！
愿我们成为 神祝福的管道，把信仰传递给下一代！
Exodus 10
Faith Must Be Passed Down—Declaring God’s Deeds
12/02/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella
Introduction: Faith Must Be Passed Down from Generation to Generation (Exodus 10:1-2)
1. God Commands Humility and Obedience (vv. 3-6)
God demands Pharaoh to humble himself and warns him that if he does not repent, the locusts will completely devour Egypt’s remaining crops, plunging the nation into deeper crisis (vv. 5-6). Despite experiencing the previous seven plagues and witnessing God’s power, Pharaoh’s heart remains hardened and unwilling to submit. This reflects the condition of many people—God repeatedly warns, yet they refuse to repent.
2. Pharaoh Attempts to Compromise with God (vv. 7-11)
Pharaoh’s officials plead with him, “Egypt is ruined! Will you still not let the Israelites go?” (v. 7). Some among them have begun to “fear the word of the Lord.” However, Pharaoh pretends to relent but still tries to control the situation, saying, “Only the men may go!” (vv. 10-11).
Pharaoh wants to keep the next generation of Israelites in Egypt, not only as hostages but also as a symbol of the devil’s scheme—to prevent the passing down of faith, keeping the next generation bound to the world.
3. Locusts Devour the Land (vv. 12-15)
God commands Moses to stretch out his staff, and an east wind blows all day, bringing the locusts (v. 13). The locusts devour all the crops of Egypt, leaving nothing green on the trees (v. 15).
The plague of locusts shows Pharaoh that those who reject God will ultimately face destruction. Not only are Egypt’s crops consumed, but Pharaoh’s hardened heart also brings disaster upon the nation.
4. Pharaoh Pretends to Seek Forgiveness (vv. 16-20)
When the locusts devour the land, Pharaoh can no longer bear it and begs Moses to intercede for him. Though he appears to repent, it is only a cry for help in crisis, not a genuine change of heart.
We often see people calling out to God in times of trouble, but once the crisis passes, they return to their old ways. True repentance requires a renewed heart, not just desperate pleas in moments of distress.
1. Darkness Symbolizes Spiritual Lostness (vv. 21-23)
The Bible describes this darkness as lasting three days, during which people could not see each other or move about. A world without light is not only physically limiting but also brings fear, chaos, and despair.
In Scripture, darkness often symbolizes sin, ignorance, and separation from God (John 8:12). Pharaoh’s rebellion plunges the entire nation into darkness, reflecting the spiritual condition of those who reject God.
2. Moses Insists on Complete Obedience (vv. 24-26)
After the plague of darkness, Pharaoh again compromises, allowing the Israelites to go but demanding they leave their livestock behind (v. 24). Moses responds firmly, “Not a hoof shall be left behind” (v. 26).
Moses’ response reveals a spiritual principle: worshiping God requires complete obedience, not adjusting to human preferences.
3. Pharaoh Remains Hardened Against God (vv. 27-29)
Despite experiencing nine plagues, Pharaoh still refuses to truly repent. His repeated rejection of God leads to his growing anger, and he even threatens Moses. This sets the stage for the tenth plague (the death of the firstborn), which will bring Egypt’s most severe destruction. Thus, we see that a hardened heart ultimately leads to ruin.
Summary:
Declare God’s Deeds and Pass Down the Faith
May we become channels of God’s blessing, passing down our faith to the next generation!
