End of week 1. I have already learned so much. Tonight's reading was no exception.
Exodus 32 and Exodus 33:1-6
I can't believe how readily (or desperate maybe?) the people were so quick turn to anything as a god to worship....a calf made of gold? After God helped Moses to lead them out of Egypt, they turned so quickly to anything else?
To me, this can be translated to our ways of thinking even today. It feeds into the whole instant gratification thing. We are SO ready to turn to anything, even something so obviously displeasing to God, just for some immediate satisfaction.
People that we know aren't good for us, too much self indulgence in matters of the flesh, addictions of any kind...we, in a way, do "worship" these things we turn to, because if we don't RIGHT NOW see what we need to see to make us whole, we will take anything.
The people in Exodus didn't see Moses when he went to the top of the mountain, needed something to worship = gold calf.
The people on Earth can't see God, needed something to satisfy a hunger = sin, self indulgence.
Seek God. He fulfills us, physically, mentally, spiritually.
Blessings...xoxo
