Here's something that I don't get.
Was listening to my daily audio Bible and we're in Exodus 8 (and following)...
The Egyptian magicians kept replicating the signs done by Moses and Aaron. They made frogs that covered everywhere and the magicians did the same thing. But why would they do the same thing? Why make even more frogs? If they were trying to show they had power (or access thereto), why not take the frogs away? Pharaoh asked Moses to pray to God to take the frogs away...
Then there were the gnats - and this time the magicians could not replicate the sign and they said, "This is the finger of God." But yet they didn't realize that when God took away the frogs and they didn't?
I just don't think it makes sense. Well - that they didn't make sense. Or maybe it simply goes to show that if we are rebelling against or hardened against God then we don't make sense and we try to "kick against the goads" (so to speak). Hmm...
The other thing that continually gets me when I read (or hear) these passages is a prayer that comes to my mind and heart...
"Lord, do not let my heart be so hardened, do not let me harden my heart against You!"
