One more night with the frogs
Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The meditation titled "One more night with the frogs" is based on Exodus 8, where God sends a plague of frogs to Egypt because of Pharaoh's stubbornness. The frogs represent anything that stagnates us, such as character traits, addictions, or procrastination. The meditation emphasizes the need to deal with these frogs intentionally and not put it off until tomorrow. When we start to kill these frogs, it may cause pain, discomfort, and disgust, but it is necessary to get rid of them. We must have the courage and commitment to open up to what God wants to do in our lives and bring freedom to our hearts. We cannot continue to linger around and fight with the same thing over and over again. Instead, we must deal with it today and start saying, "Lord, take these things out, we are going to kill these things, even if it stinks for a while." Afterward, what will remain is the glory of God and what God wants to do in our lives.
The speaker talks about the story of the plagues in Egypt, specifically the plague of frogs. He emphasizes the importance of dealing with the "frogs" in our lives, which are the things that prevent us from experiencing God's blessings. The biggest frog we may face is stubbornness, which can separate us from God's plan for our lives. The speaker encourages the audience to identify these areas of their lives and deal with them now, rather than waiting until tomorrow. The speaker ends with a prayer for discernment, courage, and wisdom to face these areas of our lives and reconcile with God.

There was a meditation that I did this morning, there are times that I always tell you that there are times, I am making a confession here, sometimes I take my time in the morning and look for a little book of daily meditations that I have to read. called, The upper room, and this morning I came across a meditation that caught my attention the headline of that reflection and I wanted to share it with you. That day's meditation was called “One more night with the frogs”, likewise, “One more night with the frogs”.
Turn with me to the book of Exodus, chapter 8. I think some people look at me like, hmmm…. Where is this going? I'm going to “One more night with the frogs”. I think this was a preaching that I also heard a long time ago from Dante Gebel, I don't know how many of you know Dante Gebel, but Dante Gebel preached about this uuuuf, I heard that a long time ago. But this morning I came across that meditation that is from today and I don't know when I read the text, there were several things in this text that struck me like this, not that they struck down forgiveness, that stood out, I don't know, I'm going to share them with us today.
