For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not those who left Egypt led by Moses?

The author of Hebrews reminds me of what I read a couple of weeks ago in the book of Exodus. Lots of people who experienced all the miracles in the most miraculous story in the entire Bible still turned away from the Lord.

I always think, if God would only show himself, people would believe. Apparently, God did show himself, people did believe, and yet, people still turned away from the Lord. Rebellion in our hearts never quite dies, always smoldering below.

Sobering thought as I pursue a long life of faith.
