The Ten Commandments movie makes me wonder sometimes

How is it that the people of Israel while in slavery in Egypt saw all the miracles of God and yet kept turning away. I just watched The Ten Commandments and it struck me as interesting how people who had tangible proof of God in their midst still strayed from Him. It is happening in my life every day. I keep straying from God and turning to desires of the flesh. Well it is a fact that sin nature has poisoned us but I think there is something much deeper happening. In the movie they do not touch on the 40 years in the wilderness that the people endured. It was there that the Israelites had to depend daily on God for all their needs. In that dependance they meet a real living God. As in my life I have to depend on God to give me strength to endure day by day. So in the wilderness of life you will find Manna. What a wonderful thing to sleep on tonight.
