It can be argued that Moses is the main character in the Old Testament story. Moses is the one that God communicated his Torah to on the top of Mount Sinai. Moses is the one who loeads the children of Israel from Egypt to the promised land. Yet, in the story of mOses there are long periods of hiddenness when God is in the background of his life. Perhaps it is the sam e for all of us - there are times of intensity and times of absence in our divine/human relationship. The key is to be able to navigate these different seasons and maintain our spiritual focus through it all.
