Reorientation

Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26

What if? What if Egypt never enslaved and mistreated the people of Israel? Would they have ever left? So what if their experience in Egypt was meant to disorient them away from Egypt and toward the promised land. And what if God uses our disorienting moments and experiences to help usher us into a reorientation toward God’s self and new possibilities?
