Exodus 10:21-25 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”… Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “ Go, worship the LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.” But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.” This final compromise of Pharaoh came through great desperation on his part. He would allow Israel to leave, even the women and children could go… but not their flocks. In other words, Pharaoh knew that he would have to hold onto something close to them which would cause them to keep coming back to Egypt! Is their anything in your life like that? Is there anything which Satan could use to keep drawing you away from God and back to worldliness? Think! It may be a particular weakness that he loves to exploit. It may be a friend that is hindering your walk with God. It may even be a love of money and possessions, which was certainly Pharaoh’s hook here. Whatever it is, see it and judge it for what it is… a desperate last ploy of the enemy to maintain some kind of hold on you.
