'' Digging in the Wrong Place'' - ( Exodus Part 3)

Introduction: Digging in the Wrong Place

We are stepping into the story of the plagues of Egypt, focusing on how Pharaoh and his people sought solutions in the wrong places.

Key Points:

1. The Miracle with the Rod (8-10)

• God demonstrates His power through Moses’ rod.
• A supernatural sign to Pharaoh.

2. The Magicians and Their Ruin (11-13)

• Pharaoh’s magicians attempt to replicate God’s miracles.

3. The Mighty River (15-22)

• The Nile, Egypt’s life source, is turned to blood.

Pharaoh’s Tricksters and Their Failure

• Power without restoration is worthless.

It Was a Dedicated Dig

"All the Egyptians digged" (Exodus 7:24).

• The Nile was Egypt’s source of:
  • Favor: Egypt’s prosperity depended on the Nile.
  • Food: The river sustained life and agriculture.
  • Familiarity: It was the constant, the known.

1 Corinthians 1:25 “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

Meanwhile in Goshen

• Egypt was desperately digging, but Israel had clean water.
• The Israelites didn’t have to dig—God provided.
• Where was Israel?
  • Drinking from a source that never runs dry.
  • A preview of the living water God would provide later.

It Was a Desiring Dig

"For water to drink"

• The Egyptians were:
  • Searching
  • Seeking
  • Spending hours, with no sign of hope.

It Was a Desolate Dig

• Success was never possible.
• Egypt kept digging, but what they needed was not found in the ground.

Closing Thoughts

• God has already provided a source of living water.
