Faith That Doesn't Need To See

Exodus 32:1-6
1 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 Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."

2 Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."

5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD." 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.


When the Israelites saw that Moses had gone up the mountain and was gone for such a long time, they lost faith in God and Moses, so they needed to have something tangible to worship, so they had Aaron make an idol for them.

O ye of little faith. It takes so little to lose faith in God. Things like not being able to see things. Sight is the foremost of our faith when we see things, but we need to put our faith in Christ who we can not see.

Father God I pray for faith that goes beyond seeing. Allow me to have more faith in You. You have put me through many trials and tasks, but I believe that You are with me. You have plans for me and I put my faith in You. Allow me to continue to step each step in faith in You. I give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
