ONE MORE NIGHT WITH THE FROGS

Exodus 8:9-10 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat 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? (10) And 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.

Can you imagine the discomfort of living with frogs everywhere. Reach in the cubbard and there is a frog. Look in the closet and there is a frog.
We are all familiar with the Plague of Frogs that God sent to Egypt. When you first look at it it doesn't seem like it would be that bad but when you really think about it, then it seems awful. One thing that has always puzzled me is when Moses asked Pharoah when he wanted to get rid of the frogs Pharoah said "tomorrow". Why didn't he say right now. Why in the world would Pharoah want to spend one more night with the frogs?
It doesn't make anymore sense for us to ask God to remove an obstacle from our life some day. Why not ask Him to remove it right now? So many times we are almost like Pharoah, we are perfectly willing to spend one more night with the Frogs.
