Exodus 32:19 says,  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 brake them beneath the mount.  When Moses saw the golden calf and the people dancing naked around it, he was very angry.  Moses may have felt that God shouldn't be angry, without knowing what was going on, but when he saw, he was angry himself.  We often hear of breaking God's law, but Moses did so literally when he threw the stone tablets down and broke them.  Verse twenty states,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.  Moses reduced the golden calf to powder, put it in water, and had the people drink it.  Not only did they lose their golden calf idol, but they lost all the gold that they had given Aaron to make it.  When we worship the things of this world, we will ultimately lose everything that we put into that worship.  Verse twenty-one adds, And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?   Moses questioned Aaron, since he was God's priest and Moses' second in command.  Moses wanted to know what the people did to Aaron to cause him t6o turn away from God.  We better hope that God never asks us what the world did to us to cause us to turn away from Him.  Verse twenty-two states, And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.  Aaron began to offer excuses, blaming things on those who were to be God's people instead of on himself.  We cannot shift the blame for our sins to others, though like Aaron, we may often try to.  Verse twenty-three adds, For they said unto me, 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.  Aaron basically implied that it was Moses fault because the people did not know what had become of him.  Had they really put their faith in God, and not just when Moses was with them, they would not have so easily abandoned God.  If we are truly a follower of Christ, we should be faithful to him at all times, and not just when we are physically in the presence of other Christians.  Verse twenty-four declares, And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.  Then, Aaron lied.  He said the people brought him gold, he threw it in the fire, and the golden calf came out.  We were already told that Aaron fashioned the golden calf.  A golden calf forming itself in the fire is about as likely as the universe being formed by some cosmic accident.  Both required a creative force behind them, the golden calf Aaron and the universe God.  God took credit for His creation, but Aaron didn't.  We must take responsibility when we sin, then ask God for forgiveness.  We cannot blame our sins on others.  Verse twenty-five declares, And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)  Aaron had made the people get naked to shame them among their enemies.  Without God, we will always stand spiritually naked among our enemies.  Verse twenty-six adds, Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.  Moses asked those who were on God's side to come and join him, and the sons of Levi came to him.  There will always be a time when we must decide whether we are going to stand with God or with the people of the earth who reject God.  Verse twenty-seven continues,  And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.  Those who did not stand for God were to be killed.  Ultimately those who do not stand for God today will face a much greater punishment, and that is everlasting separation from God.  Verse twenty-eight states, And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.  The children of Levi obeyed Moses and killed about three thousand men that day.  Sin always has and always will bring serious consequences, but as followers of Christ, He has taken that penalty on Himself for us.  Verse twenty-nine concludes, For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.  Moses told the people that they had to make a choice, to either follow God or deny Him.  We today have that same choice, and even as Christians, we are often called on to do what the world says or do what God says.  Hopefully, we will always chose to do what God says.
