2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:

4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

For the second curse, a plague of frogs was sent throughout Egypt. I think the thing that stands out most from Moses and Aaron’s pronouncement is the complete invasiveness of this curse. In the house, in the bed, in the ovens, and in the dough. Among the royal, among the citizens, and among the servants. In short, there was nowhere that the frogs would not be found. And as we will see, this same invasive quality would also apply to every other curse as well.

So, too, when we disregard God and give in to our vices and sins. Disobedience invites all manner of plagues today: violent altercations, sexually transmitted diseases, depression, heartbreak, guilt, long-lasting consequences, broken relationships, cynicism, criminal records, and more. And, like the frogs, each of these can invade every aspect of our lives, perhaps manifesting in one place first, but then splintering to every part of our lives. No part of life is content until the whole vessel is pure.
