As I was reading Exodus, God says to Moses: “you’re going to ask Pharaoh for something, and I’m going to harden his heart so that he says no” Can you think of many times in your life where you’re praying for breakthrough or for the lord to work in someone’s heart and it doesn’t happen? Now is that because God wants to see YOUR heart posture and faith? It takes more faith when the lord does not come through to your prayers but, he has a greater plan for you. Keep seeking the lord.
