Acts 7:41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and revelled in what their own hands had made.
It sounds such a silly idea – to put all your wealth in a pile, melt it down to make a statue and then worship the statue you made...
This is what we get up to in our daily lives. We take our wealth and use it to build up things which have no real value and spend our time doing things with them instead of what is real in life!
God wants us to remember to focus on what is real and true. Don’t lose focus on God just because life gets to seem overwhelming!
