Exodus 7:22 NKJV
Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said.
If I had possession of this kind of enchantment, I would have restored the water, brought the life-line of Egypt back to normal if I was a “magician” in pharaoh’s court. I neither am nor do I possess this kind of power.
It seems to me that God was picking a fight showing these signs to the powers that be in Egypt, knowing full well that they are absolutely powerless against Him, letting the them know who the real God is.
I thank God that He is not angry with me now that I’m in the new covenant made by Jesus Christ. I may not be perfect, but I know enough to run to Him when it looks like all hell is breaking loose.
He is my deliverer.
