The readings of the last few days have been in books filled with information about specific rules and guidelines God supplies for his people...from how to worship to ways to live together in community. What intrigues me the most is that despite God's constant conversations and His visible presence (in the cloud), the Isrealites still grumble and complain. I guess it also reminds me that I do this a lot too...It may be the 21st century but I don' think human beings have changed that much. Guide me, O Lord, and keep me focused on You, not grumbling about my own concerns.
