God, Take Away The Frogs!

The Egyptians could not kill the frogs because they are sacred to them. By allowing Frogs to invade the Egypt, God is playing with their symbol of worship. Imagine the frogs dying and their decaying bodies stinking all over the palace and the town. Frogs are showing up under Pharaoh's bedcovers. He calls his magicians. They bring up more frogs. Pharaoh is not impressed. This plague proves that no power can resist the mighty hand of the Lord. Frogs are everywhere…and even though Pharaoh considers them to be sacred, he is tired of them.

It is clear that God is punishing the Egyptians for their sins. The river that Pharaoh used as an instrument of genocide was turned to blood, and now the frog goddess is being humiliated.

The worse things get, the more desperate Pharaoh becomes, until finally he does the unthinkable. He ordered Moses and Aaron to return to the palace so he can share a prayer request. For the first time, Pharaoh acknowledges the power of the Lord. But the Lord is not concerned with Frogs, he is concerned with His people.
