Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from their evil ways. Then I will relent and not inflict on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done.

Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, 32this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against me.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart so your Truth can lead me out of the darkness I am tempted by. Protect me from the lies of this world and purify me to live your will above my own. Use me for your kingdom purpose is this place.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
