“When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me” – My friends, faith is not about seeing; it’s about believing. The Israelites lost faith because they wanted a God they could see; despite the fact that they all had just witnessed His miraculous powers with their own eyes, as He delivered them out of the bondage of Egypt. Sadly, many believers today fall into the same trap, and make for themselves gods of gold, silver, ivory and wood.
