But the magicians did the same things by their secret arts; they also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt. Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people..." (Exodus 8:7-8a)
Once again God's power proves to be the ultimate. Even the "magicians" using their evil powers can do nothing to help the situation. In fact, they can only make things WORSE! They, instead of getting rid of the frogs that God's power brought about, only bring on MORE FROGS!!
Even Pharaoh acknowledges God's power, by asking Moses and Aaron to pray to God to fix the problem.
I think, way too often, I give evil more power in my mind than it actually has. It can do NOTHING above or beyond what God can do, or what God allows. What a comforting thought.
Yet, how often do I spend time in fear of the evil in this world, and the evil men can do? God, Who has the ULTIMATE power is in control AND He is on MY side!! (And I on His!!) Amen.
Evil is limited--but God is NOT!!
Love in Christ,
