For you have refused to obey my decrees and regulations; instead, you have copied the standards of the nations around you.”

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart,11:19 Hebrew a heart of flesh. 20so they will obey my decrees and regulations. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

So I did as I was told. In broad daylight I brought my pack outside, filled with the things I might carry into exile.

“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because what you say is false and your visions are a lie, I will stand against you, says the Sovereign Lord. 

For I will rescue my people from your grasp. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me a heart that will not stray from you, keep me protected in your will. I want to be obedient and only desire what is good and never bring darkness to your name. Your rescue is all that matters.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
