What More?

Really guys.  Come on.
Was that really necessary?

The hail and locusts.
The exodus.
The parting of the Red Sea.
The pillar of cloud and fire.
The manna.  The quail.  The water.
The thundering of the presence of God on the mountain that greets you each morning when you rise from your tent.

Then Moses meets with God up there for a bit.
Apparently a bit too long.
And you beg Aaron for a god to worship.
What?
What more do you need?
What more could God possibly do to show you his God-ness and it be enough?

It just seems preposterous.  Ludicrous in fact.

And then as always I realize I need to ask myself the same question.

What more do you need, Jen?

Reading stories of the Israelites.  Hearing and living the stories, of your faithfulness and provision and with-ness.  It’s weaved through all of Your Story.
What more do I need to see and hear to trust you?
To fully surrender?

What more do you need?
