“Come, make us gods who shall go before us” (v1). The God of Abraham had parted the sea for the Israelites and gave them miraculous food and water in the desert. He had met every need and committed to them. But when their leader, Moses, spent weeks up on the mountain, the Israelites turned away from this powerful, awesome Creator and turned back to familiar religion. They exchanged the God of the universe for an idol they could see - a god who inspired self-indulgence, not awe (v6-9).

“Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self ...” (v13). Like the Israelites, our wayward hearts tend toward rebellion. But God “remembers” us because of his own initiative of love and grace.
