“Don’t rush me Sonny! You rush miracles, you get lousy miracles.” This great theology is from The Princess Bride. My problem is that, God often seems mighty slow – late even. So I rush Him, or go around Him, or forget Him altogether. Something has to be done – time is running out.
Remember the story of Aaron making the Golden Calf when Moses was late coming down Mt. Sinai with the 10 Commandments (Exodus 32)? Were they really being so bad? They weren’t replacing God; they were just adding the calf as a visual way to worship Him. They even sacrificed to Jehovah in front of the calf. And besides, Moses had been gone for over a month. Late again. Something had to be done – time was running out.
But Moses lost it. He burned the calf, then busted the remains into powder and poured it into the creek, forcing the people to drink it. Bizarre. Why drink the calf? My guess? So they would have to flush it. You rush miracles, you get lousy miracles.
Flush it.
