Remember how the lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. 3Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors.
He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’ 18Remember the lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful,
No, it is because of the wickedness of the other nations that he is pushing them out of your way. 5It is not because you are so good or have such integrity that you are about to occupy their land.
You must recognize that the lord your God is not giving you this good land because you are good, for you are not—you are a stubborn people.
Yes, you have been rebelling against the lord as long as I have known you.
Lord God, I confess, I am stubborn and rebellious, I have resisted you for most of my life. I have failed at me. Lord God, I am sorry for my past and with great excitement look forward to the future in doing life your way. Forgive my past ways and replace my will with yours. May this place only be seen thru your eyes thru me. I am yours.
In Jesus name,
Amen
