One More Night with the Frogs

One More Night with the Frogs

Scripture Reference

Exodus 8: 9-10

9: Moses said to Pharaoh,"The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?" 10: Then he said, "Tomorrow."

There was a children's song that we sang in the 90's in children's ministry called "One more night with the frogs." It was about Pharaoh and the plague of frogs that came to Egypt before the Exodus of the children of Israel. I have thought about it several times since then. If you have someone who can pray, will pray and then that which is a plague upon your house will leave, why would you ask them to wait and pray tomorrow? Why would you want to go home and have frogs in your homes and your yards for another night. Just think of the noise and the smell and the slime!

But deliverance was available and ready for you. As Moses said, "The honor is yours to tell me: when..."

Friends we often act like we have forever to make up our minds to be set free. We decide to think that we will make that decision tomorrow. Like Scarlet O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, we decide to think about that tomorrow, for tomorrow is another day. But the day of deliverance is at hand. God wants you to be set free. He wants you to run for the mercy seat. He wants you to cry out to Him in this day and in this moment.

Time is short and every moment counts. Let today be the day of deliverance from the plagues in your life. Ask and you shall receive from the Lord. This is Pastor Susan Living the Everyday Prophetic Life.
