He surrounded them and watched over them;
he guarded them as he would guard his own eyes.
The lord alone guided them;
they followed no foreign gods.
“But Israel soon became fat and unruly;
the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!
Then they abandoned the God who had made them;
they made light of the Rock of their salvation.
16They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;
they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.
You failed to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel
Lord God,
Be with me and protect my eyes and thoughts, keep me in safe places where temptation cannot find me, guide me and give me strength to stay on your path. Protect me from getting lazy in your presence and live in your grace without growing closer to you. Demonstrate your holiness thru me. May I be your servant.
In Jesus name,
Amen
