Ex. 8, 9

God clearly said He put plagues on Egypt so that Pharaoh might KNOW that He was God. He showed His mighty power in a way that even the magicians couldn’t reproduce. God will always win a showdown with the devil.

God wants our enemies to know and experience His power. He uses timing to make the most of the opportunities. He let’s us stew awhile and then comes in with relief. Then we all, saints and enemies alike, know that HE IS GOD.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. [1 Peter 5:10]
