He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”
Exodus 32:4-5
It's interesting that even though they had made and idol golden calf, they still called it Yahweh.
Sometimes we put other things in the place of God but still call it God. Sometimes we claim God told us to do something, or we are doing something for God, but it's really not for God, but our own idea.
Sometimes it's not so obvious. That's why we need to study the Bible and have a community of believers around us who also study the Bible and help keep each other on the right path.
Father, guide us in Your paths and alert us to when we stray from it. In Jesus' name, amen.
