You Will Worship Something
Exodus 32:8
“They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’”
There is no doubt in my mind that we were created as beings of worship. Yahweh made us like this but also gave us free will. He never forces us to worship Him, but He wants us to have the desire to worship Him. Remember the children of Israel and their refusal to go up on Mt. Sinai? They were not attentive to the proceeding word of God and therefore missed an opportunity to be in His presence (as it was always meant to be).
Instead, they grew impatient with Moses and begin to direct their innate desire to worship toward false gods. They filled a void with the wrong thing. My point is, we will all end up worshipping something. It’s in our DNA. Let us as sons, make sure our complete focus is on Yahweh. Let Him know that He has 100% of our worship and when He calls us up the mountain, let us be a people who say “Yes!”
