He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. 10But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him.

But don’t be afraid of them! Just remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the land of Egypt.

“You must burn their idols in fire, and you must not covet the silver or gold that covers them. You must not take it or it will become a trap to you, for it is detestable to the Lord your God. 26Do not bring any detestable objects into your home, for then you will be destroyed, just like them. You must utterly detest such things, for they are set apart for destruction.

Lord God my Father,

You are faithful and just, your way is true. Soften my heart so I may surrender it to your will. Give me courage to move forward as you desire. Protect me from my sinful nature.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
