A Slave of Egypt

When you see the word Egypt, what comes to your mind? A pyramid, right?
Did you know that it is believed that the chosen people of God were among the slaves who built the pyramids?
So why is it that after being freed by God, they still wanted to return and serve the Egyptians?
Thisis because the jews found their identity in Egypt. They had been used to living as slaves. When they say their names, "a slave of Egypt" follows as their title.
Each of us also have our own "Egypt". The Egypt in us is sin that keeps us from freeing our spirits to receive God's promises.
We like going back to this Egypt.
Even if we know that we have been freed from sin, we still do it.
Even if we know there is a Promised Land waiting for us, we continue to serve that Egypt.
Maybe we know who we really are, we will be free the Egypt that enslaves us.
