The next plague that attacked Egypt was that against the livestock - horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep and goats will all die except those that belonged to the Israelites would live. After Pharoah saw that this would come to pass, he still would not relent and let the Israelites go. The plague of boils would follow and that would affect men and the remaining animals not affected by the previous plague. The magicians couldn't stand before Moses since they too were affected by this plague. The interesting thing was how this plague would start - God told Moses and Aaron to take handfuls of soot from a furnace and toss it in the air in the presence of Pharoah. It would become fine duse over the land of Egypt and the rest was history. Still this would not move Pharoah's heart, which was predicted by God to Moses and Aaron.
It was a decent weekend and got back to Delly yesterday around 5ish. I led service on Sunday and felt it was approrpriate to start the service with excerpts from Dr. King's I have a dream speech. He truly loved God and this country and the quote from Is 40:4 which is in there is a highlight. What a remarkable man in the face of adversity and I am grateful for what he had done.
Although this will be a shortened workweek, still this will have its moments. Long day today but at least all I have to do is nuke my dinner. Looking forward already to this weekend, with CNY around the corner. Enjoyed my time in Brooklyn although it was wicked cold this weekend.
Praise for today My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the Lord. Ps 26: 12
