Exodus 9
The first obvious sign of death came - the livestocks.
It was followed by boils - even the magician had boils and cannot even stand in front of Mosses.
The next massive destruction brings about a complete destruction to the economy - hail
Interestingly, hail has never occur in Egypt. - v24 such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a
nation.
God gave a warning. Some Egyptian heed the advice - and bring their remaining livestock to safety. Other, I believe laughed because what is hail - never heard of and can not possible happen in this region.
God showed that He is indeed God of the earth, the economy, the weather...
I serve such a God - a God who demand worship but showed grace and not by fear.
This is the God whom I can lift up my worries to. Amen.
