Today's Reading - February 11, 2010

EXODUS 32:1-33:23
MATTHEW 26:69-27:14
PSALM 33:1-11
PROVERBS 8:33-36


Question of the day: Why were the Israelites so quick to turn their back on God and desire a golden calf and other gods?

These people that made up the Israelites had spent their entire lives in Egypt, in fact, as a people they had been there for 400 years. They had a distant recollection of God, but He was not an active part of their lives until He freed them from Egypt. Moses had spent the previous 40 years living with his father-in-law Jethro, who followed God and worshiped Him. Moses had come to rely upon God and while Moses had a deep relationship with Him, the Israelite people didn't.

What questions do you have?
