So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. 

When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

“What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? 27Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to gather the false gods I tend to worship before you and not allow distraction in your desires designed for me. Keep me from jealousy and greed but keep me pondering your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
