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 who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”
This passage really troubles me. How could this whole group of people sinned against God in such a monumental way? What was Aaron thinking? Why in the world would he have made an idol? I guess the simple answer is the fact that they are human. Sin is never very far away. When we begin complaining about God, church, preachers, our circumstances, etc... it wears away at our faith until it doesn't take much to make it crumble.
Lord, thank you for your forgiveness for our sins. Please help us to continually build up our faith. Amen.
