| "I agree that we can easily forget
about God who is present in the ordinary as well as in the miraculous.
However, in the case of the wilderness neither the quail nor the manna
were present before the people complained to Moses and Aaron, and their
appearance and instructions re the amount to be taken come into the area
of the miraculous. If the consequences of their greed were a consequence
in my life it might help to curtail my times of excess in all sorts of
areas." |

that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s
