It doesn’t take long for Israel to desert the one true God, creating for themselves a golden calf.  Consider:

• False gods – Israel grows weary waiting for Moses, so they have Aaron make them a god – a golden calf.  Compared to the one true God who thundered on the mountain, here is a safe god, a god their size that they can handle.  How are you tempted to bring God down to your size?
• Proper honor – Israel credits the golden calf with their deliverance from Egypt.  When God blesses you, do you give him the credit, or do you credit something else – maybe yourself?
• Intercession – Moses intercedes for the people of Israel in their rebellion.  Who is walking away from God that you need to intercede for?
