MEDITATION
Exodus 9:27-30
27 And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
28 Entreat the LORD, that there may be no more mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
29 So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the LORD God.”

沉思
《出埃及记 9: 27-30》
27 法老打发人召摩西、亚伦来，对他们说：“这一次我犯了罪了。耶和华是公义的，我和我的百姓是邪恶的。
28 这雷轰和冰雹已经够了。请你们求耶和华，我就容你们去，不再留住你们。”
29 摩西对他说：“我一出城，就要向耶和华举手祷告，雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是属耶和华的。30 至于你和你的臣仆，我知道你们还是不惧怕耶和华神。”
