Text: Exodus 8:15-19
15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
17And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Key Verse: “Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said” (Exodus 8:19).
Message

In our text, Pharaoh’s magicians acknowledged God’s power after failing to replicate the third plague. The Ten Commandments delivered to the children of Israel were inscribed on tables of stone by the finger of God (Deuteronomy 9:10). Jesus Christ attributes His miracles to the finger of God, demonstrating God’s power and unimaginable might. In essence, the phrase translates succinctly thus: (i) God’s unrestrained power and dealings in all areas of human endeavours; (ii) a call to action, urging believers to live according to God’s will to avoid earthly and eternal punishment and (iii) a reminder to trust in God’s power to bring about positive change in all facets of life. The revelation of the finger of God is meant to awaken us to realize His power and might and the need to reverence Him unconditionally.

Prayer for today: Lord, let your finger find expression in my life in Jesus’ name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
