Attitudes of Returning to Egypt

Sermonette by Jared M. Ellis

Focusing on Exodus 16, we are asked about the attitudes that would lead the Israelites to choose their previous slavery over their newly granted freedom. Three interrelated attitudes are analyzed that ultimately stem from a lack of faith. The first attitude is the tendency to seek comfort instead of spiritual growth. Being a slave to sin does not require us to make the effort to grow and develop in our calling, but we remain at the whim of the slaver driver (physical or spiritual). The second attitude covers wanting the rewards but not the responsibility. God gives us tools and directions, but He wants us to have wisdom to responsibly use His freedom to develop godly character. The third attitude is giving into fear instead of having faith in God. Even after all the proof that God has given the physical and spiritual Israelites, we still can doubt whether God will help us get through the trials that are given to us to help us grow. Developing our faith and constantly fighting to change our perspective on using tribulations for spiritual growth and creating godly character will help us fight these three slave attitudes.
