This is the day.

Exodus 7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exo_7:23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.

I just wanted to focus on the statement, neither did he set his heart to this also. Simply put, Pharaoh did not care what God was doing. He had let his heart get so hard toward God that he no longer cared what God was doing. He just walked away from God, and the work of God, and went about his own way. It is dangerous for any of us to develop and "I don't care" attitude, but especially it is dangerous for those of us who are or may be leaders. God wants us to be concerned about His work, and about Him. Pharaoh was not a Christian, but we Christians can be the same way, God is working, and we just don't really care. Hey, the heart can be hardened to a point of no return for either a Christian or a sinner. May God help us to have tender hearts.
