Title: Egypt Can't Help You
Author: Steve Wagers
Text: Isaiah 31:1
Charles Blondin was a famed tight rope artist. He walked across Niagara Falls June 30. 1859. The rope was 1100 ft. Long, 3/4" wide, and 160 feet above water. He made it across successfully. He then did it blindfolded...then in a gunny sack...then on stilts...then in a chair with a hot plate eating an omelet half-way across...then in a wheelbarrow.
After he crossed in the wheelbarrow, the roars of the crowd was deafening. He asked how many thought he could do it again, to which everyone cheered in applause. He then asked for someone to get in the wheelbarrow. He had no volunteers.

"ONE THING WE NEVER LEARN FROM HISTORY IS HISTORY!"
Egypt - DIABOLIC/DOMINEERING/DEFEATED foe
God drowned Egypt/Pharaoh/Horses/Chariots in Red Sea
So Why would Israel look to Egypt? Horses? Chariots?
For the SAME REASON we look to PEOPLE, POSSESSIONS, POWER, PROMINENCE to help us in times of need.
1) A HUMAN LIABILITY!
A) PLENTIFUL Resources (31:1)
"MANY" - Quantity/not Quality
LOOK" - 'To gaze with interest"
Israel became enamored with all the resources Egypt had to offer. They had come out of bondage/free; yet all they could think about was the smorgasbord back in Egypt.
B) POWERFUL Resources
"STRONG" - word for Energy
Israel saw the Egyptian army as the most powerful force in the world. UNMATCHED - UNEQUALED - UNRIVALED
Ali boarded a plane. Ready to take off. Refused to sit down. He said "Superman doesn't need to sit down." Attendant said, "If you're Superman we'll let you out and you can fly yourself; other sit down ...
