You find interesting things reading big chunks of scripture. For example, the Israelites accused Moses of leading them into the desert to die three times (Exodus 14:11, 16:3, and 17:3) in the first three lunar months after leaving Egypt (Exodus 19:1). Each complaint is answered by a miracle, which somehow doesn't stop them from complaining again ( Read more... )

You bring up a good point... how could the Israelites NOT trust God inthe first place? They were being led by a pillar of fire by day and a pillar of smoke by night (or perhaps it was the other way around), i can't remember which. that's pretty awesome.

I think it is the other -- fire for light at night, smoke for shade by day. But at any rate, yeah, pretty ridiculous. Then again, I suppose the angels might tell us, how could we doubt God with the Holy Spirit in our hearts?
