Exodus 32:25
Moses saw that Aaron had let the people get completely out of control, much to the amusement of their enemies.
Observation
Aaron was in charge, but he let the people be in charge,and the people quickly became out of control. Their enemies were amused by their actions. Instead of respect, there was amusement. Instead of reverence, the enemy laughed. When the people of God are out of control, the enemy is delighted. KJV says the people were naked. NKJV says it was to their shame.
Application
The enemies of the people of God should never be amused at us. It makes me consider that anytime I am out of control the enemy is pleased. Out of control with my anger, or my eating, or my finances.
Prayer
Lord, I don't want to amuse the enemy, for I know that it not only reflects on me, but on You as I am Your son. May the work of Your Holy Spirit be so evident in my life that I demonstrate self control ~ the fruit of the Spirit.
