August 22 – Exodus 9:22-26

I have seen some pretty bad hailstorms in my life.  I remember once when I lived in the Dallas area there was a storm that brought softball size hail.  I saw windshields with huge holes in them and huge dents in the cars.  In the area where it hit most homes had to have new roofs installed.  But I have never seen fire rain down or hail so large and widespread that it destroyed entire trees and killed people and animals.  I can’t imagine a storm like the one described here.  God is so loving to His chosen people that He again protects them from this storm.  How could anyone go through even one of these plagues, much less all these plagues and not believe in God? Why do you think God brought so many plagues and didn’t just destroy Pharaoh? What have you seen God do that helped your faith and trust in Him grow? Why do you think others can have the same experience and still not believe?
