And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD (Ex 8:1-8 KJV)
Today as I read the above bible passage, something caught my attention that had not the countless times I read this chapter of the bible in the past. I noticed that though the Egyptian magicians could make the frogs come upon the land of Egypt, they had to plead with Moses and Aaron to entreat Almighty God to take away the frogs!
It was so refreshing to be reminded of how limited the enemy’s power and influence is. No doubt people of all faiths are going through some tough times, you may be one of them. If you are a child of God, I want you to be comforted by the above incidence in the bible, be reminded that God has the final say in your life and there is so far the enemy can go. What is happening in our world today calls for wisdom and endurance on the part of the saints. Do not let go of your confidence in God for in a little while He will come through for you and reward your patience and trust.
