FRIDAY, JULY 10
Scripture: Exodus 7:22

Verse 22 says, “Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.” In the first few demonstrations of judgment, the magicians were able to match what God did. As mystifying as it must have been, those demonic demonstrations did not last long. They lasted long enough to get Pharaoh and the people of Egypt in more trouble. The magicians doubled the misery of the judgments until God said, enough. Goshen became the safety zone for Israel! Plagues filled everywhere else! God kept Israel free and safe in Goshen! Where is Goshen for you?
