Exodus 8:20-32
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.
‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen,where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land.
I will make a distinction[b]between my people and your people. This sign will occur tomorrow.’”
But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us
Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.
Why?
After the disaster of the fly, Pharaoh admitted the Israelites go to worship the Lord in the wilderness.
Moses met the pharmacy as he goes to the river, Pharaoh did not want to see Moses for there is not a good result will happen.
The Lord blessed Israelite where they lived in the land of Goshen. Even very severe disaster in Egypt but the land of Goshen was different.

1-19 蛙災，虱災埃及術士無法解除災難，只能加重災情。法老要求解除蛙災不是今天，卻是明天，要讓法老見識，青蛙離開權利掌握在神手中。法老只是解決眼前問題，不是真的要信神。不僅法老，我們也常如此，當災難解除後就忘記了。目前瘋媽祖，如果他追隨後仍然有災難，他豈會繼續跟隨嗎？我們不能過河拆橋，就忘記神了。
20~32蠅災，蒼蠅怎麼會分辨是否歌珊地?神降災在埃及人災難，以色列人卻免於災難。我們是分別出來的人。法老心軟，開始和摩西商量。這勞動力是國家經濟力，想要放又要留一點自己的利益、我們基督徒是否也如此，想要留一手，保留一些，不要全時間事奉，把神的吩咐打折扣。有沒有什麼事情可以把神被前面。法老最重要的是要面子。其實法老正是你我的寫照。我們是否有什麼放不下的?
求神讓我們學習放下自己，專心奉獻跟隨主。
How?
No matter what happens, God’s blessing is always with us.
