Have you ever been surfing channels on your car radio and accidentally come across a favorite song from long ago? Even though you’ve listened to it many times over, you thoroughly enjoy listening to it again. Maybe you even turned the radio up to get the full experience. Knowing every word doesn’t make the song boring; instead, it lets you embrace the song to the fullest. But not everything in our lives is fun to relive. Some experiences you’d rather never relive. And others that seem good at first turn bitter over time. As we begin the repetitious story of plague after plague, we should learn what Pharaoh refused to learn. The misery that accompanies some experiences is there to teach us that we don’t want to resist or fight against the Lord. Even the counterfeits that we trusted before seem less and less convincing. Pharaoh tries to forget the lessons of his experience, but just sets himself up for harder times to come.
