Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not realize that Egypt is destroyed?"
Pharaoh had surrounded himself with men who would do whatever he said and tell him what he wanted to hear. Though they sought to please Pharaoh and not tell him the truth, even they knew there was a time to "wake up and smell the coffee." How much better for Egypt everything would have been if Pharaoh had had quality people to give advice from the beginning, and he had listened to them. Don't allow yourself to be surrounded by people who only seek to please you. Seek advice from those you know will tell you the truth, no matter how much it hurts, and then listen to them! Don't allow your entire world to be destroyed simply because you want to follow your ideas and not God's. Submit to Him and you will see His plans will reap rewards far greater then any loss you might suffer from following Him.
