Exodus Study: When God Reveals Himself (Exodus 8:1-10) 

Exodus 8:1-15

1And 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.

2And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

3And 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:

4And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

5And 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.

6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat 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.

9And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

10And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

11And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

12And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

13And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.

15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Scripture

In this sermon, the narrative of Exodus chapter 8 unfolds, detailing the second plague inflicted upon Egypt: the proliferation of frogs. This message explores how God utilizes these dramatic events to reveal His supreme power and identity, starkly contrasting it with the limited and deceptive abilities of Pharaoh’s magicians, who could only exacerbate the problem rather than resolve it. The divine command, “Let my people go,” is not merely a demand for freedom but a call to worship and devoted service.

The pervasive nature of the frog plague is highlighted, infiltrating every aspect of Egyptian life, from homes to ovens, as a constant, inescapable reminder of God’s judgment. Pharaoh’s response, characterized by a desire for relief but devoid of true repentance, exemplifies a superficial reaction to hardship rather than a genuine change of heart. His reluctance to embrace immediate deliverance, choosing “tomorrow” instead, underscores the human tendency to delay spiritual decisions despite evident divine intervention.

This message further emphasizes the infallibility of God’s Word, asserting that His declarations are always fulfilled, bringing either blessing or judgment. It delves into the enduring consequences of sin, even after forgiveness, and the crucial distinction between worldly sorrow (seeking relief from consequences) and godly sorrow (leading to true repentance). The sermon urges listeners to heed God’s call for immediate obedience, recognizing that delaying one’s commitment carries profound and often tragic implications.
