Exodus 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Moses also got ticked off when he saw the injustice of an Egyptian beating an Israelite. In that instance he sprang into action in the heat of the moment, as he slew the offender, delivering the justice which he thought was overdue. In fact, when we read the history of Moses, we will see that he got ticked off on several occasions. Not because one has a close relationship with God does it mean that they could never get ticked off, except they are girded by the power, and presence of The Holy Spirit, moment by moment.
Those of us who think that just because a person may be a really genuine Christian, that he or she is immune or completely insulated from being ticked off, might be living in la-la land. There was none like Moses, who spoke with God face to face and yet, he succumbed to anger on different occasions. For instance, when he came down from Mt, Sinai, with the hand written law of God in his hand and he saw the children of Israel prancing, his anger waxed really hot, and he broke the law of God into pieces, in the heat of the moment.
These things ought to show us the frailty of human nature, and our utter inability to tow the line in the times of anger, if we are not kept by the power of God at all times, and in all places….. Exodus 32: 19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Exodus 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
