So i am going through this endeavor of reading through the Bible and even though it is taking me a little longer then i planned on... i am still pushing through and learning ohhh so much. I am in Psalm right now and loving it so much. Well i recently came to a chapter and a couple of verses, hence the title, and they rocked my world. They rocked it so much that after reading the rest of the chapter i had to go back and reflect.
Psalm 106: 19-20
"They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass." (ESV)
I mean wow! WOW! That just stabs me right in the heart. I think about all the things i have traded for the glory of the Lord. I think about how i have forgotten about his great glory and traded him... my God and my worship for him for a few hours of mind-numbing fun with a video game, for a few moments of cuddling with a girl or just to hold her hand. I think about how i have traded that love and worship for God to worship this idol of hate and bitterness towards people closest to me such as family and friends.
This verse cuts deep. What ox, that only eats grass, have you traded your precious and all loving god for?
