2-4-2022 Devotion: One More Night With the Frogs

 Exodus 8: 9-10: "And Moses said to Pharaoh, 'Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.' So he said, 'Tomorrow.'" This is the second plague that God has sent to Pharaoh and all of Egypt. Frogs are everywhere, in the house, bedroom, bed, on the people, in the ovens and in the cooking utensils. Pharaoh calls for Moses and says he will agree to let the Israelites go and worship the LORD if the frogs are removed. Moses asks when he wants this to happen. Pharaoh says, "Tomorrow." I never understood this. Why would you want one more night with the frogs? Sometimes, we overlook that God is willing to move on our behalf, but we delay. Delay can result from disobedience or sin, intentional or unintentional. We should be constantly seeking the LORD and trusting Him to perform His will in our lives. Don't ever stay one minute longer than you have to walking with the frogs.
