Read Exodus 8 in context

Scripture Focus

8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.

Exodus 8:8

Biblical Context

Pharaoh pleads with Moses to intercede and remove the frogs, promising the people's release for sacrifice to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh's plea is a conversion of the inner state. The frogs are the unquiet thoughts and senses that keep your attention on appearances. The LORD in this reading is the I AM, the awareness that never changes. When Pharaoh asks for intercession, he is in effect begging the inner man to revise the state of mind. Moses and Aaron—your faculties of perception and action—carry the message to the Source within. The vow, 'I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the LORD,' is an inner agreement to release identification with problem and to yield to true worship. The frogs depart not by compulsion of the outer, but by a change of mind: you decide that the inner reality is the one that governs experience, and the outer symptoms bow to that reality. So, in your own practice, assume the state of relief, feel the presence of God, and watch as the inner quiet makes the disturbance fade.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'The frogs are gone,' then feel the relief as real. Sit in gratitude and imagine you are already worshiping within the I AM.
