As I’ve been studying, I am starting to see that Egypt wasn’t just a place, it represents a mindset. It represents everything that has shaped me outside of God. The way I thought, the way I saw myself, even the confidence I had; it was all built on worldly understanding.
When God told Pharaoh to let the Israelites go so they could worship Him, it wasn’t just about a festival. It was about separation. It was about alignment. They couldn’t fully worship God while still being surrounded by everything that opposed Him.
And that made me reflect on my own life. I have realized there were areas where I have been trying to hold onto both, what the world has taught me and what God is trying to show me. But I am learning that I can’t fully align with God while staying rooted in that old mindset.
So for me, this season like coming out of Egypt. It is not always comfortable and unfamiliar at times. But I know it is necessary. God isn’t just calling me to do better, He is calling me to come out, to learn Him, to understand who I am in Him, and to be in right alignment.
And I am willing. I am learning. I am growing. I am aligning.
