Today’s Scripture: Exodus 32:1-5 The Message – When the people realized that Moses was taking forever in coming down off the mountain, they rallied around Aaron and said, "Do something. Make gods for us who will lead us. That Moses, the man who got us out of Egypt—who knows what's happened to him?" So Aaron told them, "Take off the gold rings from the ears of your wives and sons and daughters and bring them to me." …He took the gold from their hands and cast it in the form of a calf, shaping it with an engraving tool. The people responded with enthusiasm: "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from Egypt!"
Today’s Word: Control
Today’s Prayer: Dear Lord what is it about our human nature that makes us want to control everything. I don’t think anyone would literally build a gold calf today, but we want you to write a message in the sky or to change people into the image we have for them. I fall into this trap as easily as anyone especially when it has to do with my husband. Forgive me for my need to have control in areas that belong to you and others. This is really more about trusting you than anything else. Amen.
