When He Hides His Face, Part Iv

God moves on, and works even with those who left Him, like Moses with his fancy Egyptian ways--God reels him in, knowing deep down that Moses is a holy man--then sends the plagues and parts the sea to make the ones He chose free. Ah, and to repay the favor, while Moses climbs up and up (and God now shows only as a burning bush, face hidden!), the people party, party hard! They melt their rings, earrings, all the gold they got to make what? An idol, a stupid golden calf that didn't do a damn thing to get their butts outta Egypt! Sure, God must have been pissed (and maybe brokenhearted again) but Moses was livid! Smashed those tablets God Himself wrote on, and probably felt like smashing more than a few dumb-heads as well! So God goes away,or so it seems-- no longer making personal appearances, instead seeing how humans get along on their own... not well it seems: wars, oppression, poverty, despair (any of this sound familiar?) until one day He sends His own son, the apple of His eye, His beloved sweet-tempered child, AND He sends him to save the world, yet NOT ALL AT ONCE-- (something both believers and deniers may forget) but one person, one soul at a time for that is how God relates-- He may hide His face, but not His voice.
