physically? As a normal person, it is a challenge to interact with

someone that isn’t ever visible. In dark moments, we question if He’s

there, if He cares, and if He even exists. Our humanity prefers to know

through our physical senses or abilities. If we can touch something

with our hands or see it for ourselves, we’re a lot more confident in

what we know. Or if we can understand a truth for ourselves and have it

make sense to us, we will readily accept that truth. But when we’re

asked to know God by faith alone, we often struggle. Israel struggled

too. In some sense, they could see and hear God. But they preferred to

find a god more manageable and controllable. While Moses is on Mount

Sinai talking with the Lord, Israel comes up with an unbelievable plan

to make another god for themselves. And surprisingly, we can probably

all relate!
