It's been observed in recent years that the level of anger in our culture seems to have increased.  Perhaps you’ve noticed it, too. So, the climate of discontent, that Moses describes here among God’s people in Exodus, doesn’t sound that much different from what you and I are experiencing today. But it's not always easy to distinguish anger from fear. Fear and worry tend to trigger anger. So, what was it that was making the people afraid? Moses puts his finger on it when he goes on to quote the question they were asking, “Is the LORD among us or not?” Have you ever felt tempted to ask that question as well?
