Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 32

Highlight Verse:

“Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced, “Tomorrow will be a festival to the Lord!””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭32‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Aaron was the high priest and brother of Moses.

But he lacked the close relationship with God that Moses enjoyed.

He may have thought he was doing a good thing by making the golden calf.

From our perspective, it’s easy to say, “What on earth was he thinking?”

Clueless, impatient people swayed him.

And perhaps the lure of power tempted him.

And he messed up big time.

If you are going to lead people, especially in the context of faith, it is important to cultivate a close relationship with God and with people who are wise in the faith.

Those who follow only the popular trends and ideas end up leading social clubs rather than the family of God.

Do the people you look to for spiritual leadership cultivate a close relationship between themselves and God?
If you are in leadership (or aspire to it), what are you doing to cultivate a close relationship with God?
