How is it that God was willing to call Abraham to a new life – one that would be a blessing to all people, but in only a few generations he led them into slavery? It makes the story of Joseph seem a less wonderful. Unless … this is a story about a story. Maybe the people of Israel are a visible reality of the human story.
Like Israel, humanity was given life and a deep connection with God, but they ended up in slavery. And now, Israel is a picture of what we as humans walk into all the time. Day after day they lived as slaves crying out. Because this is what slaves do. Perhaps you are crying out. Wondering how you got back here. Maybe you are wondering if God will ever show up.
