The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. 

So the land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.

12Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel.

“So may all your enemies perish, Lord!

But may all who love you be like the sun

when it rises in its strength.”

Then the land had peace forty years.

Lord God my Father,

You are Holy and worthy of all praise. Keep me near and overwhelm my evil way with your Perfect and Holy spirit. Cause me to turn away from my desires and allow your desire for me to fill me completely. My strength is evil, yours is perfect, I surrender all I am so you may have your way with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
