We tend to do just as the Isrealite people did in Exodus.  Just like the people of God who made the golden calf because they were impatient with Moses being on top of Mt. Sinai for so long, we can lose patience and look for replacement gods too.  We are asked to wait on Him no matter what the circumstances.  If we are close to God and spend time with Him, we will trust Him and keep the faith.
