Diving Deeper
Exodus 32
Read Exodus 32. This is a complex story, but it does reveal our tendency as humans to chase after that which doesn’t satisfy, even while true satisfaction is just a little ways away. In fact, Jesus came to us, so there’s not even any separation. Spend some alone with God, or with someone who loves you, confessing the ways you have chased after things that will never satisfy you, knowing that Jesus is just and faithful to forgive us.
