tiirreedd.. just got back from our Sunday night worship/prayer and it was fun! Sang lots of great songs, worked on some new ones, and had a loong time of talking after.Thank God for the great brothers and sisters that i have around me coz they're awesome, and thank God for everything that He's given to us already :))
Day 37.
So Moses went up to the mountain, got the tablets, came down, saw the golden calf that the Israelistes created, and threw the tablets down destroying it. The interesting thing is that, i would think the whole idea of the Israelites worshipping the golden calf was Aaron's idea, since he was the who told them to give all the gold and made the alter for the golden calf.. Why didn't God punish Aaron for it, instead punish the Israelites instead? Even Moses himself knew that Aaron had let them get out of control(Exodus 32:35).
One thing that i learnt however was that Moses had a true love for the Israelites, no matter how many times they failed him and the instructions of God, Moses would always end up pleading to God on their behalf. That really amazed me, considering all the danger Moses has been put through, and even after that the Israelites still sin time and time again.
The last thing which i found really interesting was that Moses was able to change the mind of God. Exodus 32:14, Moses talked to God and reminded Him of His previous covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and its sad that the Lord changed His mind about the disaster.. So if we plead with God now, would we be able to change God's mind? Would we want to change God's mind? Is that a good thing or a bad thing to be able to change God's mind?
