And the whole river turned to blood. And little Barrett stirred a pot in a party kitchen at a brand new friend's home---the kid was Eric, I remember. "What are you cooking?" And the toddler replied: "Blood." And this momma was forlorned. What am I teaching my kid? Barrett's reference was actually Exodus 7:20. Barrett thought what God did was so cool. Moses and Aaron obeyed God. In the sight of Pharaoh, Aaron lifted his rod, smote the waters, and the whole river turned to blood.
"See the mutability of all things under the sun, and what changes we may meet with in them.
That which is water today, may be blood tomorrow." M. Henry.
It is the rampage of evil that leads to turning our waters into blood.
May we all live to obey because of the overall Ruler, not because of any Rule.

Dear Children, Never assign tomorrow what you face today. “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. Exodus 8:10. Tomorrow, you can pray for me. Tomorrow, you can set me free. Tomorrow, you can send the plagues back heavenly. But not tonight. And I wonder why. So puzzling. So troubling. So disturbing. Yet, all we can deal with is our own things that plague us. Call upon the name of the Lord, Today!
