Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. 15I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’

“ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place—on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the crops of your land—and it will burn and not be quenched.

For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices, 23but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.

The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they have?

Lord God my Father,

Your way is Life, Peace and Joy. Keep me from following my way which leads me away from you but to commit my way to become your way. Protect me from shinny things that get my attention and keep my focus on your light only. Bring quiet to my thoughts so I may hear yours and help me to trust in my faith without doubt in all situations. I am not in control, only you are.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
