Exodus 34:15 " You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land. They lust after their gods, offering sacrifices to them. They will invite you to join them in their sacrificial meals, and you will go with them."
God didn't want Israel to become like the people who were presently in the land where they were going. He told Moses not to even make a treaty with them. In our society it is easy to fall into the sins of our nation. Worshiping golden calves isn't what we do necessarily, but we worship our own golden calves such as appearance, pleasure, television, or any other thing we think about more than God. We need to be careful to be set apart as holy and let the people around us see the difference God makes in our lives.
Dear Lord,
Please, help me not just be like everyone else around me. Be the difference that is relevant in my life. In Your Name I pray. Amen.
