Today's reading: Exodus 31-34

"When Moses failed to come back down the mountain right away, the people went to Aaron. Look, they said, make us some gods who can lead us..." Exodus 32:1 NLT

I don't know what golden timeclock the Israelites had God on, but apparently He wasn't keeping to it.

His watch wasn't synchronized to theirs.

His daybook hadn't been coordinated with the daybooks of those coming to Aaron in regards to the timeliness of Moses' return to the camp.

So they decided to take matters into their own hands.

**I don't want to spoil it for you in case you've never read this part of the Bible before, but it doesn't go well for them after this point.

God is not required to keep to our scheduled time of events.

He is not held to our seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.

He is not bound by appointment times, dates written in ink or deadlines.

So if you are thinking you are holding His nose to a line, have given Him an ultimatum, are requiring that He answer by such-and-such day and time--don't hold your breath.

God doesn't operate that way.

And neither should your faith.
