Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting. 11And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them? 12I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
A Plague
“It is a dreadful mischief that there should be a plague in the heart, for a plague is a dreadful thing. A plague means, first, something which brings pain, and there is many a secret heartache in this world where we least suspect it. If you could take the roofs off the houses of London, strange sights would be seen, but if once you could proceed to put a window into every heart, some of those whose faces look gladdest would appear to us to be among the most miserable of men. The plague of the heart means pain, care, worry, grief, and trouble of mind. But it means more than that, for the plague is a disease.” (C. H. Spurgeon)
The Israelites had a plague in the heart and treated the Lord with contempt but
Moses will intercede for the them again to save them from the wrath of God.
What about you, do you have plague in the heart?
Blessings
