Then while they were sitting at the table, a command from the Lord came to the old prophet. 21He cried out to the man of God from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: You have defied the word of the Lord and have disobeyed the command the Lord your God gave you. 22You came back to this place and ate and drank where he told you not to eat or drink. Because of this, your body will not be buried in the grave of your ancestors.”

The people imitated the detestable practices of the pagan nations the Lord had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites.

Lord God my father,
Protect me from the deceit of this world and of my sinful nature. Help me to live in your Truth, not listening to the lies that are so much around me.

In Jesus name,
Amen
