Dec 6: Numbers 8-10
Whenever I read the old testament and see all the signs God shows his people, I wonder how they could disobey him or even worship idol Gods like the golden calf from Exodus. God parts the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape from the Egyptians, Moses and Aaron perform all these miracles and bestow a plague over Egypt through the Lord's name and it goes on and on.
In chapter 9, the tabernacle is set up and God keeps a cloud over it that looks like it's on fire. This sparked my confusion again as to how the Israelites could see all these crazy things and not have complete devotion to the one that creates them. Right as I was thinking this, I felt God speaking to me, telling me to stop being such a hypocrite. Although I'm not as exposed to these kinds of miracles and signs, God's presence is still just as strong now as it was then. I should stop judging those people, and look at my own life and how I haven't fully devoted myself to God even though he shows me his love everyday and answers my prayers all the time. I might not worship idol gods, but I know I'm still caught up with worldly things and those things probably come close to being idols in my life too. I need to ask God for more humility, more maturity and a better perspective on things like this so that rather than judging people which does nothing for me, I would learn and be able to grow instead.

in the Bible there is a story of a man talking from the hell and he asks God to send him back so he can warn them so that they don't end up where he is and God's response was...that they have seen all the miracles and still do not believe what makes u think you can convince them? or something like that...we are definitly stubborn and foolish people
