of Idols

The Israelites come to Mt Sinai and are waiting for Moses to return with instructions from God. Moses is taking a long time, so they decide to turn to something else to be their protection and provision. The Israelites make themselves an idol and replace the true worship of God for something of this world. We also walk in the wilderness of idolatry, where we often replace the true worship of God with things of this world. It might not be a golden calf, but idols come in all shapes and sizes. Any good thing can become a god imposter when we give it our trust and praise and look to it to give us the ultimate meaning of life. This weekend, we repent of idols, and we come back again to the true worship of God and God alone.
