Exodus 32:9 (NKJV) 9 And the Lord said to Moses, \u201cI have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Moses spent time with God on Mt. Sinai, the people of Israel grew impatient, and they exposed what was in their hearts by creating and worshiping a golden idol.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They had been led out of slavery in Egypt by God\u2019s miraculous hand. They had witnessed things that should have sealed their faith in God for the rest of their lives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But <\/span>somehow,<\/span> they quickly forgot all of that and began to bow down and worship a golden calf.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As God saw their behavior, He called them a stiff-necked (stubborn, rebellious) people. No matter what He did for them, they always seemed to rebel and stray from Him in their hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a good lesson for us to learn, as we see how the Israelites behaved, to make sure we don\u2019t do the same.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we might not actually build a physical idol of gold and bow down before it. But we may put something else before God, which is equal to idol worship.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What might that be? Our career, our family, our hobbies, musicians, celebrities, money, sex, or any other number of things? We can replace God in many, many ways without even realizing that we\u2019re doing it. Most times it\u2019s not intentional. <\/span>It<\/span> just kind of happens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not be a stiff-necked people. Let\u2019s learn from the things that God\u2019s word teaches us about the Israelites. And let\u2019s throw away our idols and keep God in His rightful place, on the throne of our hearts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
