Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged, “Plead with the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go, so they can offer sacrifices to the LORD.”
“You set the time!” Moses replied. “Tell me when you want me to pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. They will remain only in the Nile River.”
“Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh said.
“All right,” Moses replied, “it will be as you have said. Then you will know that
there is no one like the
LORD our God.
Exodus 8:8-10 NLT
OK. Let's say you are Pharaoh and your house and land are full of frogs and the deliverer, who has God's ear, asks you when you want him to pray for your deliverance. And you answer, "Tomorrow?"
Isn't that just like us at times?We want deliverance from our problems and hang-ups but we know that there will be a side of that deliverance that we will be required to uphold.
So, when Christ offers us deliverance, rather than give in and surrender our heart, we harden it and say, "Tomorrow."
What are the frogs - the things that you are trying to hang onto that are keeping you from fully surrendering your heart to Christ?
Whatever those things are, let them go and let God deliver you. God is asking you right now, "Do you want me to deliver you?" Say, "Yes!" today!
