Why did the Israelites asked Aaron to make them golden image to be their new god to lead them? they had their own God of their fathers who took them out of Egypt, out of slavery.
The Israelites stayed long with the Egyptians, the idol worshipers.
It could be they might have remembered and admired their hand made gods.These are the gods and magicians who failed to save the Egyptians from the plagues inflicted to them as a punishment from the God of Israel.
We seek for wrong alternatives just because of small challenges and delays in our life.
The other question we should ask ourselves is; where did God took us from and why?
Just as Aaron was building the golden image, God was instructing Moses up the Mount Sinai to set him apart as a priest,Aaron and his sons were to be ordained and given the priestly garments.
We divert from God without knowing he is seriously making plans for our destiny.
WOULD THE GOLDEN CALF LEAD THEM TO CANNAN?
Canaan was God's promised land, a covenant he made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.This hand made breathless gods or idols could not finish God's plans.
Idols cannot lead us to our happy destiny, anything we put our trust on which makes us to divert from God is idol.
The Israelites were supposed to call upon God,even without Moses he could have heard them just in the same way he heard thier cry in Egypt for God to call Moses from the land of Midian
Whatever problem we face lets call upon God.
May God answer your prayers dear reader.
