Exodus 32:6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
When you are eager to do something, does it make you get up earlier in the morning? When you want to do something, what can stop you?
We may well get carried away with things in our lives just because they are there, and they look good. I don’t know what size this golden calf was, but a gold statue will always look good!
But it’s not the good-looking things in life we need to strive after. Aim for God and don’t allow anything to stop you. Be eager. Be ready. Be hopeful!
