So you wanna go back to Egypt

Sunday September 21st, Exodus 16: The whole company of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron there in the wilderness. The Israelites said, "Why didn't God let us die in comfort in Egypt where we had lamb stew and all the bread we could eat? You've brought us out into this wilderness to starve us to death, the whole company of Israel!" Oh, for the comfort of home sweet home or my dear old friend “yustabe.” How we want the comfort of what was while Jesus is trying to send us into what can be. We even want the “what was” even if it means things was not all that good back there. We want them because there is comfort in the familiar. God offers comfort for the afflicted, but also offers affliction for the comfortable. Once we are comfortable in a situation, we no longer move forward. Once we are in a church we want the music to stay the same, the liturgy to stay the same and the place to look the same. Then we want others to come and join us and be happy, even if it means accepting our worldview over their own world view. visit the song, "So you wanna go back to Egypt" by Kieth Green

So you wanna go back to Egypt, where its warm and secure.
Are you sorry you bought the one way ticket when you thought you were sure?
You wanted to live in the land of promise, but now its getting so hard.
Are you sorry you’re out here in the desert, instead of your own backyard?
Eating leeks and onions by the Nile.Ooh what breath, but dining out in style.
Ooh, my life’s on the skids, give me the pyramids.
Well there’s nothing to do but travel, and we sure travel a lot.
Cause its hard to keep your feet from moving when the sand gets so hot.
And in the morning its manna hotcakes.We snack on manna all day.
And they sure had a winner last night for dinner, Flaming manna soufflé.
Well we once complained for something new to munch.
The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch.
Ooh, such fire and smoke. Cant God even take a joke huh? .(no!)
So you wanna go back to Egypt, where old friends wait for you.
You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang, That what they said was all true.
And this Moses acts like a big-shot, who does he think he is.
It's true that God works lots of miracles, but Moses thinks they’re all his.
Well I’m having so much trouble even now.
Why’d he get so mad about that cow, that golden cow.
Moses sits rather idle, he just sits around.
He just sits around and writes the bible.
Oh, Moses, put down your pen.
What oh no, manna again?
Oh, manna waffles manna burgers, Manna bagels, fillet of manna,
Manna patties bamanna bread!
