As we continue this week in Exodus, we come to the account of Israel’s idolatry and the golden calf. If we were to create a Mount Rushmore of Israel’s failure throughout her history, this would easily make the cut. And while we may never be tempted to construct an idol of gold, we are often tempted to elevate lesser things above God. This passage reminds us of the danger of idolatry and it shows us the gracious work of God even in our failure.
