The New Normal

Analogies to Mythic Narratives

Now for our kids, Pharaoh draw a nigh. That means when, when Pharaoh approached. And so if you will just go with me for a second, let let's say row right now, represent fear. Let, let Pharaoh be that thing in your life. That causes anxiety. Maybe it's a physical malady ahead. I forgetful parent finances, but Pharaoh right here Represents the anxiety and the fear. It represents the old normal and, and here, because this is what favor is said. Pharaoh was the old system. So Israel had come out of Egypt and Pharaoh is this old system. And he represented when Pharaoh said, eat, you ate. And when Pharaoh said bricks, you made bricks. And when frailer said jump, you said how high he was the old way of doing things. But here's the thing about Pharaoh favor also gave him something to eat. Pharaoh gave them something and he met certain needs. But the cost of meeting that needs was fear and oppression and problems and anxiety. So a lot of things that we use to meet certain needs in our life, and a lot of the things that we, we get used to meet in certain needs in her life or normal until we get a better way to meet that need.
