And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? Aaron said… thou knowest the people that they are set on mischief
Exodus 32:21-22In
Exodus 24, Moses was going to Mount Sinai as God commanded him so the following conservation ensued
Moses: While I am away take care of the people.
Aaron: Yes Sir!
After a while, Moses did not appear. The people became tired of waiting. They convinced Aaron that Moses was not forth coming. They began to applaud him saying things like, “You are a great man, You are the voice of Moses. If you do not talk, Moses cannot talk, after all, if Moses is not around you are here and we are with you, create for us another god, perhaps Moses and his God are lost somewhere!”
So Aaron foolishly made another god: “And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives… And he received them at their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, these be thy gods, O Israel… And they arose up early… and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play” (Exo. 32:2-6).
Meanwhile, God interrupted His discussion with Moses. I can imagine their dialogue was something like this:
God: My son Moses, are you hearing the noise?
Moses: My Lord, They must be rejoicing.
God: No, it is not rejoicing. The man that I gave you has left you.
In other words God was disappointed that Aaron, a supposed compliment of Moses decided to follow the people’s voice rather than Moses voice. No wonder, he could not fulfill destiny. When you ignore God and begin to listen to people, you will be misdirected out of your destiny.
The fact that people are clapping for you does not make you anything to reckon with. You have to find out God’s purpose for your life.
Prayer/ Confession: I will not end up like Aaron, I will fulfill my destiny. I will not be taken before the fulfillment of my destiny. The LORD will complete me.
