Our Bible Reading of the Day is Exodus 7.  God guides Moses to release His people from their slavery in Egypt, but Pharaoh proves less than cooperative.  A series of plagues—foretold by Moses and sent by God—brings destruction and pain upon the Egyptians but only serves to harden Pharaoh’s heart against Moses and the Israelites.  We make idols when we put our trust in creation and not the Creator.  Jesus is true God, and He has delivered us from our bondage to sin, death, and the devil through the cross.
