Today, sunday, is cool and I am relaxed as I go thro the day.
9 am I want to know God more and sat down to Exodus 32 “The golden calf” Aaron succumbed to the people and asked for their earrings…apparently many of these were those plundered from the Egyptians as the left Egypt. They now held little respect for they though they were God’s provision for the journey etc. “Have I done the same Father?” Despised your provision? Tears filled my eyes as I was so convicted that I had done just that! It was a God moment…I tearfully said “It has been really hard sexually and relationship wise without B…you understand I know but it was tough, the agony and pain and sadness and it only now that you Father have provided such a tremendously exciting and motivating thing with these perfumes (making them to sell). I am positive once again and I will do my best now to apply myself and honour your beautiful gifts to me..”
3 pm I am absolutely fascinated by the scenarios from verse 7 of Exodus 32. God began by quickly assessing the behaviour in the camp as deserving of His immediate punishment. Moses however pleads for leniency and God relents (by design?). Moses says these are demonstration people of His glory/promise while not actrually saying they were of dubious character. But when Moses sees first hand the people’s behaviour he is incensed! Change of attitude I don’t know? Most likely is incredibly jealous for the people since he later offers his “salvation” in exchange for their pardon.
