Verses from Exodus

众术士也用他们的巫术照样行了，使青蛙上了埃及地来。法老把摩西和亚伦召了来，说：“请你们恳求耶和华，好叫他使青蛙离开我和我的人民，我就必让这人民离开这里，使他们可以向耶和华献祭。”法老说：“明天。”摩西回答：“就照着你的话行吧，好叫你知道没有神像耶和华我们的神。青蛙必离开你和你的宫殿、你的臣仆和你的人民，只留在河里。”(出埃及记 8:7, 8, 10, 11)

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, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.” “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. Moses replied, “It will be as you say, so that you may know there is no one like the Lord our God. The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.” (Exodus 8:7, 8, 10, 11)

Pharaoh’s magicians were able to duplicate the first two plagues. But they could not reverse the plagues—any of them. They could cause chaos, but they could not restore order. Only God can do that.

With effort, we can bring order to our living spaces, but none of us can bring order out of the emotional and spiritual chaos of our lives. Only God can do that. 

When we put our problems in God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hearts.
