Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you.

But the people of Israel won’t listen to you any more than they listen to me! For the whole lot of them are hard-hearted and stubborn. But look, I have made you as obstinate and hard-hearted as they are.

 Lord’s hold on me was strong. 

Lord God my father,

Clean my desire, make me pure in thought, open to your desire. Allow me to hear and see, soften me from my sinful way. Make me hard hearted in your ways.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
