I have been reading through the Old Testament for the past two years. I started reading when my small group in Wilmore read through Joshua and I just kept going. So far, I have read 28 of the 39 books.
I am not writing to portray how much I can read of the Bible, but instead what I have taken away from reading. I have been reminded throughout how much Egypt keeps being brought up. The Israelites were led out of Egypt/slavery by God into the land flowing with milk and honey. At times during their trip, the Israelites complained and wanted to go back to Egypt! How often do I see a comparison in my life. So many times I see myself wanting to return to the "Egypt experience" in my life.
As a Christian, I know that God has lead me to where he wants me to be and provided all the necessary things I need to be satisfied. I don't need to be in Egypt to be happy.
