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 eagypt, we dont know what has happened to him.
We, people, yes it is so hard for us to believe unless we saw it in our own eyes. we always want proof. why is it so hard for us to be still and stand firm to the things that cannot be seen but always felt in our hearts? the bible says that the greatest commandment is you must only serve and worship him, the GOD almighty who created heaven and earth, dapat sya ang greatest Love mo di ba? sya ang priority mo, ang center ng buhay mo, because wether we like it or not, He made us to serve him supposedly, (till sin entered humanity) pero dahil may free will tayo, we can always choose whom/what to serve pero syempre lahat ng ginagawa natin may consequences, look at what happened to israelites at this chapter, because of their little faith and maybe wrong perceptions for the LORD JESUS wanting to see something in their own eyes despite of all the miracles, the power that brought them out of eagypt, they made an idol. they quickly turn away at sinuway ang pinaka una at mahalagang utos nya. lagi nating tatandaan, alam ni LORD kung ano ang makabubuti sa atin, kailangan lang natin magtiwala ng buong puso israelites worship a golden calf/bull. they made a feast, that brought them to have fun wildly, and the worst, it turns them to do such sinful things. see, If you dont worship the only one true GOD. the rest will follow. lahat ng utos nya susuwayin mo na. they were out of control. they killed each other. satan wants nothing to you but to turn you away from GOD, steal you and destroy you because he hates you, he hates humanity. He wants us to worship him insted of our LORD almighty JESUS. and he the enemy has power to get into our mind because remember adam and eve times? but the LORD our GOD (JESUS) is so good, lagi ka nyang naiintindihan, nauunawaan na hindi mo kayang mag isa, na mahina ka, at kung papakinggan mo lang sya sa loob mo, you can defeat the enemy through him. pero gaya nga ng sabi ko, tricky ang enemy natin you may not serving anything (idols) modern na ngayon, anything that keep us away from having time to prioritize him to woship, pray and do our daily walk with him, it is considered Idols. social medias? if we are consuming too much time on it, you have to think , lalo na kung alam mong wala ka naman natututunang maganda doon or its not GOD willing. addictions? such as smoking, drinking, gambling, drugs? kapag nasisira na nito lahat lahat sa buhay natin but still were holding onto it, then we have made it ourselves as our master and we are the slave of it. we love ourselves too much? we think of ourselves the smartest, most beautiful, powerful, human in the world that we are perfect? then we serve ourselves. (self idolatry) so be careful, pray si LORD lang makakapagligtas sa atin from our sinful selves. mahal ka nya, mahal nya tayo ayaw nya tayong tuluyang mawasak forever. pero wala syang gagawin sayo kung di ka susurrender dahil di nya tayo ginawa na parang robot, we are made to his likeness, Good and Just, loving and forgiving. AMEN. praise be to GOD ✨🙌🏻🙏🏻
