Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel…. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. Exodus 24:9-10
These leaders probably climbed the mountain in fear and trepidation wondering whether they’d live to tell the tale... Yet they ended up having a ball as God throws a wee feast! Isn’t that awesome?
Sadly the journey up the mountain to experience God’s intimate presence only involved 70 leaders while the rest of the community waited at the bottom.
Don’t be someone who waits at the bottom - climb up!
