Stepping Out of DespairSmakprov

### Serving God: Moses Moses was serving God with all of his heart as he received the Ten Commandments. Unfortunately, the other Israelites turned to idolatry while he was at the top of the mountain. As Moses descended, he discovered the worship of a golden calf. He was very frustrated and smashed the 10 Commandments. It was symbolic of the peoples’ lives and rebellion. Eventually, Moses forgave them, interceded for them, and continued to serve them and God. When despair comes, cry out to God and continue to serve. Serving is part of the restoration process.
