Even though this lockdown hasn’t been super long, it feels long enough. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a bad case of the lockdown blues… nothing tastes good (but I keep eating anyway), each day feels long (but the week flies by), and I keep thinking we’re out of lockdown only to realise many things remain closed or postponed.
I think I understand a little of why the Israelites complained so much during their sojourn in the wilderness between Egypt and Canaan; the scenery left much to be desired and their days and weeks blended into monotony. Even the miracles of walking through the red sea, being led by a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day, and receiving bread from heaven paled in wonder as they trudged day after day through the dust.
