Pharaoh

Hard-hearted Pharaoh. 

Plague after plague,

he refuses the request

or goes back on his word.

Then.

Misery yields his

sudden

confession of sin. [Exodus 10:16-17]

Everything

“Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go” (Joshua 1:16).

No half-hearted maybes. Balking at the unknowns. Questions about personal safety.

No calculating anticipated losses.

Everything and everywhere. 

No turning back.

The cross

The cross. 

Reserved for the god-forsaken. 

Destination of lawless ones. Convicted of stirring up insurrection. And strategizing destruction. 

Those rehearsing murder or thievery as a way of life deserve this end. 

So they say.
