On the Mountain with God.

Ok so ACU holds this thing every year now called summit. Well the theme this year is on the mountain with God. Tonight I went and I am so glad that I did. The text of the night was Exodus 20 which is mostly the 10 commandments. He talked about how when you live close to the mountains you don't really have fenced in back yards but here in the flat lands you do. He then talked about how sometimes the fences in our lives our the rules and regulations (the 10 commandments). As he was talking I wondered these things...

1) How do you find a mountain (God) in the midst of the fences (rules) and nothingness (wilderness)?

2) If we are wondering around in the wilderness how and when do we find the mountain?

3) Is the mountain always there in the wilderness? Are we just not seeing it? Are we missing the clues that lead us to the mountain?

4)Have you ever wondered if the Israelites were tempted to make false gods because they could see them. I would think that it would be easier to worship something that I could see and touch than something that you can't see.

Just some thoughts I had I hope it makes you wonder. Comment if you have any thoughts on these questions.
