“If you want to live securely in the land, follow my decrees and obey my regulations. 19Then the land will yield large crops, and you will eat your fill and live securely in it.

The land must never be sold on a permanent basis, for the land belongs to me. You are only foreigners and tenant farmers working for me.

I will live among you, and I will not despise you. 12I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

You may not pick and choose between good and bad animals, and you may not substitute one for another. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy and cannot be bought back.”

Lord God my Father,

I wish to live with you not against you. Purify my heart from my youthful way and place me in the present where you are in complete control. May I please you with my thoughts and actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
