Episode 75

The Bloody Nile

Experience the first plague as the Nile turns to blood, revealing God’s power and Pharaoh’s defiance. This story highlights judgment, redemption, and the cost of resisting God.

What happens when we refuse to listen to God’s warnings? Pharaoh’s hardened heart led to devastation, beginning with the Nile turning to blood. Instead of humbling himself, he resisted, bringing suffering upon his people. Like Pharaoh, we can sometimes ignore God’s voice, holding onto pride and control. Yet, God is both just and merciful. He calls us to surrender, trust Him, and turn from rebellion. His patience gives us countless opportunities to choose obedience over stubbornness. If there’s an area in your life where you’ve resisted God’s direction, take this as a reminder to yield to Him. Trust that His ways are higher, His justice is perfect, and His grace is always available. Don’t let a hardened heart keep you from His blessings.
