Exodus 10: Humble yourself before God does it for you!

A nice verse in Exoud 10:2, where God tells Moses he is doing lots of amazing things so 'that you may tell your chidren and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord'. The notes in my Bible say 'It is important to tell our children aout God's work in our past and to help them see what he is doing right now.' Just a simple, but very valid point I thought.

Also in Exodus 10 we see a message from God to Pharaoh: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?>' As we go on to learn in the new testament, God is definitely a God who gives us opportunities to humble ourselves, and if we don't take them he humbles us himself. Now take my warning: don't leave it to him, but do it yourself!
