Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against. 7For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.

Those who walk righteously and speak what is right, who reject gain from extortion and keep their hands from accepting bribes, who stop their ears against plots of murder and shut their eyes against contemplating evil— 16they are the ones who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them.

Lord God my Father,

We are lost and addicted to our sinful desires. Give us the desire you designed for us and the strength to follow it. Restore us to our perfect design so we may be righteous under your authority. Surround us with like minded people and cause us to come together with common desire to be made new.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
