Psalm 106:20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
It is so easy for me to look at this verse and think how utterly ridiculous the Israelites were that they would exchange the One true God for a worthless idol. I’ve mentioned before that it is incredibly easy for me to stand in judgement of their poor choices, completely overlooking the fact that we make choices that are just as bad.
Psalm 106:21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt….
But when I take a close look at my life, at real life, I am forced to admit that they aren’t the only ridiculous ones. We do it all the time—compromise ourselves, our values, our beliefs for something so utterly inferior to our precious Savior, something that only brings short-term, selfish gains and not eternal rewards.
Psalm 106:22 …miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for reminding me that I need to be careful with my judgement and careful with my choices. Help me to choose You always Lord. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 106:23 So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses, His chosen one, stood in the breach before Him to keep His wrath from destroying them.
Have a blessed day.
