Exodus 8-9, Matthew 9:13-30, Psalms 24:1-10, Proverbs 6:1-5
What God said to me – Have you ever said or heard someone say, “I need to lose weight and get into shape so I’m going to start a diet and exercise program – – – tomorrow.” Why put if off until tomorrow? When I brought Moses to Egypt to free My people, I brought about many horrific plagues to cause Pharaoh to let them go. One of the plagues was frogs throughout the land. They were everywhere – in their homes – in their beds – they covered everything. Pharaoh told Moses he would give in and let the Hebrews go so they could sacrifice to Me if he stopped the frog invasion. So, Moses told Pharaoh it was his honor to choose the time for the frogs to be destroyed. You would think Pharaoh would say to stop them this minute – as soon as possible – but do you know what he said? Tomorrow!!! Can you believe it? Why in the world would he say “tomorrow” when he could be freed from them today? For the same reason it’s always “tomorrow” when the diet starts or when you start a regular quiet time or prayer time or on and on. Stop putting off and delaying the things you know you should be doing. Today is the day! Postponed obedience is disobedience. Commit each day to follow Me wholeheartedly.
