The just shall live by faith.
The idea that God disappeared is an old fear of unbelief. Israel participated in the Exodus, saw His glory, and knew it was all true. But within months, they became mistrustful. They wanted something to see. So they made a golden calf, to lead them back into slavery! Unbelief always leads to slavery.
Faith means freedom.
After the death of Joshua, very few ever saw a miracle until Christ came, except under Elijah and Elisha. In fact, very little happened that was supernatural.
Yet men and women displayed amazing faith. Jesus spoke of them and said,
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29). They read the Scriptures, and believed that the God of the exodus could not fail them and would work on their behalf. He did!
