Read Psalm 106:1-6, 19-23
Praise the Lord!
Give thanks to the Lord,
because he is good;
his love is eternal.
2 Who can tell all
the great things he has done?
Who can praise him enough?
3 Happy are those
who obey his commands,
who always do what is right.
4 Remember me, Lord, when you help your people;
include me when you save them.
5 Let me see the
prosperity of your people
and share in the happiness of your nation,
in the glad pride of those who belong to you.
6 We have sinned as
our ancestors did;
we have been wicked and evil.
19 They
made a gold bull calf at Sinai
and worshipped that idol;
20 they
exchanged the glory of God
for the image of an animal that eats grass.
21 They
forgot the God who had saved them
by his mighty acts in Egypt.
22 What
wonderful things he did there!
What amazing things at the Red Sea!
23 When
God said that he would destroy his people,
his chosen servant, Moses, stood up against God
and prevented his anger from destroying them.
Think
"They exchanged their
Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass."
- Psalm 106:20
The people made an image of
what they called God - but it was wholey inadequate.
Pray
Lord, let me not settle for
ideas of you that are way too small.
