BIG APPETITE
Today's reading: Exodus 29-32

"...Moses saw the calf and the dancing. In terrible anger, he threw the stone tablets to the ground, smashing them at the foot of the mountain. He took the calf they had made and melted it in the fire. And when the metal had cooled, he ground it into powder and mixed it with water. Then he made the people drink it." Exodus 32:20 NLT

I will be the first to admit, I have a huge appetite. Eating is one of my hobbies--and not to brag, but I'm pretty good at it.

But to have to eat my idols? Ground up into a milkshake, a slushie or an ice-cold beverage? I've not got that big of an appetite.

A puree of clothes would be a simple recipe, but very tasteless and hard to swallow.

What would He do with my god of control? The idol of my own way? The statue of my plans? My time? My schedule?

A little salt and pepper or a spoonful of sugar wouldn't help any of them go down easier, but it sure made me think. I have no golden calves sitting around my house. Molded trinkets? No, they would require dusting. Statues? Nothing visible. But God has spoken to my heart about the issue of what all I place before Him--and in doing so, He has helped me develop a healthier 'eating' plan!
