As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites prostituted themselves by worshiping the images of Baal, making Baal-berith their god. 34They forgot the Lord their God, who had rescued them from all their enemies surrounding them.

And you have chosen his slave woman’s son, Abimelech, to be your king just because he is your relative.

Lord God my Father,
Keep my thoughts pure and focused only on you, give me power over the desires of this world and protect me from temptation. Keep my actions anchored in your desire.
In Jesus name,
Amen
