Take Heed Lest You Fall (1 Corinthians 10:1-14)
Paul continues about foods sacrificed to idols with a warning against spiritual pride.

After the golden calf incident, God states that He would not continue in the midst of the people, but Moses intercedes on their behalf.
After Moses was on the mountain for forty days, the people quickly turn to idolatry and gross sexual immorality.
The Golden Calf (Exodus 32:1-18)
Exodus 4 continues Moses’ objections to God’s call with three final issues: the people may not believe him, his lack of eloquence and his overall reluctance. God overcomes each of these complaints and comforts Moses by sending his brother Aaron along with him to speak for him.
So now Moses is 80 years old, and the eager, self-assured deliverer is now an humble shepherd. It is at this time God appears to him in a burning bush and calls him to be the instrument of the deliverance of the sons of Israel. Moses, who at one time was so ready to deliver the Israelites, offers objection after objection as to why God should not use him. God assures Moses that He indeed has chosen him and will use him to bring the Israelites out of the slavery of Egypt.
