“The Lord
told Moses, “Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom
you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted
themselves. How quickly they have
turned away from the way I commanded them to live! They
have melted down gold and made a calf, and they have
bowed down and sacrificed to it. They are saying, ‘These are
your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt.’” Then the Lord said, “I have seen
how stubborn and rebellious these people are.
Now leave me alone so my fierce anger can blaze against
them, and I will destroy them.”
- Exodus 32:7-10 (NLT)
Not only did God disapprove of this kind of
worship, He was so angry
that He wanted to destroy them all.
Shouldn't this serve as some sort of warning
for us?
Maybe we should learn from this story and be
very careful to not
worship God in ways He does not approve of.
