Impatience

Whisper of God - 
When the people realized that Moses was taking forever in coming down off the mountain, they rallied around Aaron and said, "Do something. Make gods for us who will lead us. That Moses, the man who got us out of Egypt—who knows what's happened to him?"

(Exodus 32:1 MsgB)

Observation - 
Moses had gone up onto Mt. Sinai on behalf of the people of Israel. There God showed him the plans for the Tabernacle and much more. All this took time and the people became impatient waiting for Moses to return from the mountain. As a result they asks Aaron to make the a god to follow because they didn't know what had become of Moses. Aaron made a golden calf and the people worshiped and celebrated a false god even though they knew the commandments that God had spoken to them just a short time before.

Real Life Application -
As I face the uncertainties before me I sometimes fell like God is absent and become impatient looking for what I see is the answer.

Day's Prayer -
Lord forgive me for not trusting you completely. Help me to not rush ahead of your perfect timing by trying to figure things out on my own. Your ways are not my ways, therefore continue to give me ears to clearly hear the voice of your Holy Spirit. You will show the way and answer each prayer as I simply wait in hope on you.
