This morning we read from Exodus 32:15-35 as well as briefly from Judges 11:1-40

We see Israel once again chasing after idols. The image of the golden calf is where we find Israel bowing their knee. They wanted to worship God, but not in the way He requires, they wanted to worship him the way humans do by building and worshipping images or idols, in this case the golden calf.

We see that as long as we are captivated by the pleasures of the world and are not satisfied by God alone then we will never drink deeply from eternal waters. All idols should perish in our lives at the fountain of eternal water that is Christ.
