DEVOTION: When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him." The Story, p. 64
I don't know why people keep having such trouble believing in God. I have never been able to figure it out. Maybe it is because God is taking so long to come back. Yeah, that must be it. It is God's fault for taking so long.
Sounds silly doesn't it? Yet, because Moses took so long coming down the mountain, the Israelites soon forgot all about God and decided to make their own gods. How crazy is that? Just because God wasn't making himself known in their time and for their purposes, He must not exist. So let's make our own gods. Makes perfect sense......
That's exactly what the world has done. The world has gone after other gods, and even made many gods for themselves, because they don't see God and He hasn't done for them exactly as they want.
Same has happened when it comes to the theory of evolution vs. creation. Because that creation story is so "old" and because it doesn't fit with what the world wants to believe we have made up our own story and made science fit it so that it makes sense to us.
IT IS TIME ALL OF US GET BACK TO GOD'S WORD AND TO HAVING ONE TRUE GOD, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT!!!!
That is the first commandment after all. Funny how, even while Moses was up on the mountain receiving instructions for the Lord, the people were already breaking His commands.
And so we pray, COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS! Amen.

HELP FOR PARENTS TO GUIDE THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH THE STORY
A big part of The Story experience is that the whole family grows together in it as each person in the family reads it, you will all literally be on the same page. yet, it may be hard to get discussion going or to help you get started together. Are you looking for a way to connect with your kids as they and you read The Story together? There's help!
If you click the link below you will find parent pages for all age groups that you can use to connect with your kids at least once a week. Whenever your "together" time is, make it productive. It is a .pdf file of parent pages that goes from lesson one all the way through 31. Check it out and tell me what you think. I think they are excellent!!
