Grace for your spirit January 16, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron.  He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said "This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.,  Exodus 32:3-4

Anytime we are dissatisfied with God and want to find another source, there will always be someone to help us build our idols. An idol is anything that comes between us and God.  It could be anything or anybody.  Sometimes it is even religion.  In this case one of their religious leaders, the brother of Moses, supplied them with their idol and made it for them.  How did the crowd respond?  When the preacher says it is right, and the vocal ones shout that it is right, it must be right.  Right?  Wrong!  Anything we substitute for the Living God is the wrong way.
