Exodus 07: Blood In The Water

Blood in the water isn’t just a dramatic image, it’s the opening move in a spiritual war. Exodus 7 drops us into the moment Moses and Aaron stand before Pharaoh with a simple command from Yahweh: let God’s people go. Pharaoh has a throne, an army, and a reputation. Moses has a staff, a calling, and a God who refuses to share glory with Egypt’s idols. 

We dig into why the plagues of Egypt aren’t random acts of chaos. Each sign is a deliberate confrontation of the false gods Egypt trusted for life, safety, and power, starting with the Nile. When the river turns to blood, the episode shows what it means for God to strike at the very thing a culture treats as untouchable. And when Pharaoh’s magicians imitate the miracle, we talk honestly about counterfeit power, hardened hearts, and why “looking spiritual” is not the same as being true. 

The takeaway lands close to home: God has many enemies, but He has no rivals. That doesn’t mean the enemy is harmless, it means we don’t have to live in fear. We close with a prayer for discernment, courage, and a serious approach to sin, trusting that Jesus is stronger than anything pushing back against our freedom.
