“Look, I have put my words in your mouth!
10Today I appoint you to stand up
against nations and kingdoms.
Some you must uproot and tear down,
destroy and overthrow.
Others you must build up
and plant.”
And the Lord said, “That’s right, and it means that I am watching,1:12 The Hebrew word for “watching” (shoqed) sounds like the word for “almond tree” (shaqed). and I will certainly carry out all my plans.”
For I am with you, and I will take care of you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Lord God my father,
Place your words and desire in me this day and free me from the struggles I tend to seek so I may do your work, bringing your Joy to this world and my family. Watch over me and help me to surrender all thing to your care, it is only thru you I can flourish.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
