When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a] who will go before us.
I just find this so hard to wrap my head around. How long was Moses up there? I mean really! I would guess he would have a year or two before the people get anxious, and essentially reprogram themselves. How weak was their faith in the first place? Did they really just wipe God and all they had seen from their memory? And then created something they KNEW couldn't have any real powerl
We people are so weak, its pitiful. My take on this is that I need to stay strong. Even when things appear tough around me. I need to look past my perception and my situation....and remain strong in what I believe.

I selected the same verse and had similar thoughts about exactly how long was Moses gone. People forgetting their belief in God, becoming the laughingstock to their enemies---this seems like a long time and also ridiculous. How could they forget God?
ReplyDeleteThen I thought, how often do I go days or maybe weeks without talking to God? How ridiculous am I? The story that didn't seem relevant when I initially read it all of a sudden feels convicting to me. I must guard against my weak human nature and prevent putting other things in place of my time with God.
