Contemplative Bible Reading

Exodus 7:1 (New International Version)

Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

Moses didn’t really want to talk to Pharoah. He made lots of excuses. God kept encouraging Moses. He gave Moses the ability to perform miracles that would astound the Egyptians. Still Moses wasn’t so sure about all this.

The verse above reassured Moses yet one more time. I have made you like God to Pharoah

This is like Genesis 1:27 where we are told

So God created man in his own image

God has made me, you, all of us like a God in the eyes of His creation.

That is pretty significant stuff.
