How Quickly We Turn

Exodus 24:7

"Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, 'All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!'"

Only eight chapters later this same crowd will build a golden calf. This should humble us. This should show us that we are unable to keep the Holy law by our own strength. No matter how many times we say "we will obey," we will still sin. Let us be honest with out hearts, confessing to God that we are unable to obey and asking of God for the strength to obey. Let us also be thankful that our eternal security does not lie in our ability to perform but in the finished work of Christ.
