18 But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. And the gnats were on men and animals. Think about it. The Lord stuck the land with gnats, perhaps mosquitoes. And the magicians want to bring more of them! How dumb is that. It would be much more impressiveContinue reading “5Feb2009 Exodus 8:18”

12 After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh. Moses could have been left holding the bag.

9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.” Moses wants Pharaoh to know that it is noContinue reading “3Feb2009 Exodus 8:9”

22 But the Egyptian magicians did the same things by their secret arts, and Pharaoh’s heart became hard; he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said. These magicians must have been just as blind as Pharaoh. Doing a trick with a snake is one thing. There is not muchContinue reading “30Jan2009 Exodus 7:22”

12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. Can you imagine what Moses and Aaron felt at that moment? Aaron throws down the staff and it turns into a snake. Pretty impressive, isn’t it! Their chests are full and their heads held high. AndContinue reading “29Jan2009 Exodus 7:12”

9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.” The power of teamwork!
