Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.

But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed. Just as the Lord has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will be destroyed if you refuse to obey the Lord your God.

But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God and refused to put your trust in him or obey him. 24Yes, you have been rebelling against the Lord as long as I have known you.

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes to see you only and open my ears to only hear you. Remove my learned desire and restore me to your glorious design. Remove my rebellious nature and quiet my spirit to follow your desire. I submit to your authority only.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
