What keeps us from surrendering to God? Pharaoh clung to power, refusing to acknowledge God’s authority. His hardened heart led to suffering—not only for himself but for his entire nation. Like Pharaoh, we sometimes resist God’s will, holding onto control out of fear or pride. But God’s justice and mercy work together to bring freedom. His plans may not always be easy to understand, but they are always for our deliverance. When we soften our hearts and trust Him, we step into the freedom He has prepared for us. Today, ask yourself: Where am I resisting God? Let go of pride and fear, and trust that His way leads to true redemption. He is always working for the good of His people.
