And I see a group of traumatised formerly enslaved people thinking that God is like Pharaoh.
And God, in righteous fury at this warped view, is over and over again saying "you are not slaves any more, you are my people and I will take care of you". But the people refuse to believe that He is Good. Instead, they default to scarcity, hierarchy, control, fearful power dynamics.
This is the first time I've ever thought of "living by the Word" in this way, and it is speaking to something God has been working on convincing me of for the past several months. I literally said "Whoa," as I read it. Thanks for this.
I look over the list of lies
God could not meet their most basic needs
God has to be manipulated to keep his word
God is holding out on them
