Margin page 13 Exodus 13:4-17
So strange a face from the past
a past so painful
I remember seeing my pain reflected in his face
I guess it was his pain too
but different
To see those you love fall
into such a dark place
it is painful
and bewildering
But God will not allow us
to be tempted above what we are able.
Margin page 15 Exodus 15:3-16:3
Is he yet a human being
or is he still as cold and hard as stone?
I have become a part of the people you acquired, Lord.
We have passed him by.
When does Pharoah's heart ever soften?
I don't think it does.
That makes me sad...
Why?
Because Moses knew and perhaps even loved this pharoah.
He had grown up in his palace.
It is very very hard to watch
and love
after a hardened heart.
Have you ever tried to hug a rock?
