Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Tuesday, June 23, 2026
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :The Second Plague: Frogs [2] Bible Verse: Psalm 90:10-12 (NKJV) "Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.” Moses said to Pharaoh, “Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.” And he [Pharaoh] said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God. The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile.” So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh. And the Lord did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields. And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said." Message:
Most of us have known someone like Pharaoh. They want you to do something for them, and they promise to do something for you in return. And then, after you have done your part, they say they have changed their mind.

In Pharaoh’s case, the biggest motivation for his dishonesty is pride. Notice that Moses does not say, “The frogs will go away so that you will let the Hebrews go worship,” but rather, “so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.” If there has ever been a prideful person on earth, it was a pharaoh of Egypt. They were more than absolute monarchs; they were demigods. They believed that their very nature was superior to others.
Moreover, they were not accustomed to honesty; they were above laws. Their will was higher than any law, any contract.
But here, there is more at stake than simply adherence to a contract. Moses seeks to make Pharaoh admit that the god of this abased tribe of slaves is greater than Pharaoh himself, something that he has never encountered or even recognized as a possibility. And Moses is making some headway: Pharaoh has clearly lost some measure of confidence in his magicians, and he asks Moses to plead with Yahweh to take the frogs away. But pride is a resistant fault in all of us; and the pride of the King of Egypt is — literally — monumental.
Meditation : Prayer : ay it please you, my good Lord, that there may come a day when I can repay a little of my great debt to you. O Jesus, strengthen my soul, you who are good above all good; and since you have inclined my soul in this way, show me how I may act for you, whatever it may cost, O Lord. Here is my life, my honor and my will; I have given them all to you and they are yours: use me to do whatever you want. Amen. |
