Frogs Galore

Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, the ten plagues are the curriculum in the great school of the power of God. Yahweh was going to teach Pharaoh who He was. As we saw, He sent warning after warning through the mouths of Moses and Aaron. He had His messengers present credentials that proved themselves to be greater than the Egyptian magicians. And as we saw last week, He turned the Nile into blood, thus demonstrating at the outset His power over the source of Egypt's entire life. Well, in tonight's plague, God teaches another lesson: That there is no one like Him. God is incomparable, unique, perfect and perfectly different from any human being or set of human characteristics. He is a prayer-hearing God, and He is also a God with a sense of humor. He sent the plague of frogs to pollute the land of Egypt, rendering it unclean, making life a nuisance, and generally deflating the pretensions of Pharaoh to absolute mastery over Egypt and its people. So get to know this God with me, this God of battle as He battles the king of Egypt for the freedom of His people to worship Him.
